First of all, we can't go after everyone. This is a war on terror, not bad governments. And by the way, Saddam has killed way more people than 800,000.
Secondly, North Korea says they have nukes, but this is just all posturing. North Korea's acting the way they are for attention. They are a desparate country in need of support since they can't do it themselves. Iraq does have weapons of mass destruction. It's been documented. What's NOT been discovered is what's happened to them.
Lastly, saying this war is for oil is the most ridiculous thing I've heard. If you know the basic rule of economics, you'd know that the cost of waging this war far outweighs any economic benefit of controlling all that oil.
People were saying the same damn thing in the 1st Gulf War, but where's our oil from that? We never took any.
And if this isn't the time to go after Iraq, when is the right time? When they use a weapon on someone? Isreal? Your hometown?
