about W.M.Ds "weapons of mass destruction"?

Question

If we went into Iraq under suspicion of WMDs, why dont we go into Korea with proof of WMDs?

Answer 1

Hey...none of this crap matters, we cant attack NK because NK will move on SK, and possibly a million+ would be instantly lost!
Nobody mentioned that!
If you ever do start up again with NK...that region would be a dustbowl...and most of the local damage would be done by Jo-ILL, or whatever the hell his name is, and you could be most certain of that.
As for China, Russia, and all those- what the hell do they care? Nobody in either country cares about terrorism, and freedom, etc.
They dont! So they can piss off. Russia obviously dont even care much for themselves-they shouldnt have any say or opinion unless they did something encouraging for somebody else...never happen. And China- DOH! What happens when they wanna take back Taiwan??? Who's gonna care about being free? Bingo--- the USA. US is the ONLY country willing to enforce people's freedom, the rest only do so when asked.

Answer 2

First of all the WMDs were only _one_ of the reasons we went into Iraq. (If you are not aware of the 20 other reasons then you need to call the news media to task for not telling you.)

The 500+ chemical warheads we found in Iraq were merely a justification - not the total reason.

If you want to really understand why Iraq is so important to the War on Terror - you need to get a map and look at which countries that were/are significant sources of terrorism border Iraq.

By invading Iraq and Afghanistan we either control or are on the borders of every country that was a significant contributor to the terrorism problem.

Answer 3

Its all about the oil and Israel. I guess PM Olmert looks forward to see that the troops stay in Iraq for as long as possible.

North Korea doesn't have any resources even though it REALLY has nukes. And a strike on the North is something that China and Russia would oppose. That could have many diplomatic firefights, like what was seen before the war in Iraq.

I guess that Bush doesn't want to go through any difficulties.

Answer 4

Because north korea would use their W.M.Ds aginst your soldiers (your soldiers would die) and that would be politically unacceptable after Iraq for George Bush

Besides Britain, France, isreal, India, China, Russia, and pakistan all have W.M.Ds

Answer 5

Because of the treaty ending the first gulf war.

it said that Saddam needed to do A, B, and C after the war for us to stop fighting.

He did all of them at first and by the end he was firring missiles at US aircraft and kicking out inspectors.

These violations gave us the LEGAL RIGHT, and I would say obligation to resume the war.

It did not give us the political will (our biggest weakness) but WMD riled people up when a legal document couldn't.

Answer 6

Actually the war in Korea is still on. We are still at a state of war only observing the longest cease fire in recent history.

The peace talks continue to this day at PMJ. on the DMZ of Korea.

Answer 7

Iraq is an orphan with a lot of oil. this oil can buy big fat weapons, real modern get here type weapons. N. Korea is a child of BIG China and has toys. which would you attack. Besides you are massuming the US will not ever attack.

Answer 8

Because starting a nuclear war with Korea will mean the end to parts of the world due to radiation poisoning of its people and its land.

Answer 9

What if we put the shoe on the other foot !! We are the most powerful country in the world and by far have the most wmd.s.
What would you say if the world got together and asked us to dismantle ours Wmd.s .and if we refused..they decide to invade us..would you justify this?
I think we Americans need to learn and understand a little more about Diplomacy!

Answer 10

War against North Korea is too difficult a proposition. Losses to ourselves and, more importantly, our allies would be prohibitive.
