They're going to have to wait, first Iraq, then Iran, then North Korea.

North Korea doesn't have oil as far as I know...they're safe from U.S. involvement The U.S. has quite the double standard when it deals with with countries.
Diplomacy needed to solve N. Korea nuclear conflict: Bush
Yet he feels that an invasion is necessary for Iraq because he "suspects" they have Nuclear weapons, but a country that has admitted to having a nuclear weapons program despite saying that they didn't previously...doesn't pose a threat. How obvious does it have to be???

1) The difference is that North Korea abided by the terms of the surrender agreement it signed. Iraq has yet to do so. Under the terms of accepted international law, a convincing case can be made that the Gulf War is not in fact over, since Iraq has not really surrendered.
2) There is more involved with Iraq's non-fulfillment of the surrender terms than development of nuclear weapons.

North Korea never surrendered, there was an armistice signed on July 27, 1953

Oops. You are correct. It was not a surrender agreement, but an armistice. I used the wrong term.

In reply to:

I'll agree with the part that says "there is more involved"...anyone care to take a wild stab at what that is?
