Well, I think that at this point in time, Iraq is more dangerous than Korea in terms of what they can do on a large scale to the world, not only in terms of casualties, but as well as through the facilities of the economy. The distinction between North Korea and Iraq is that Korea has made it obvious to us what they have available in terms of weapons, and how far those weapons can go. Iraq has not given us that same benefit, even with Hans Blix and the UN inspectors in his countries, it is suggested that his mobile nuclear and chemical labs are evading those searches. Between the Iran-Iraq war, and during Desert Storm through the 90's, Saddam Hussein has killed more than 1 million people. The Kurds, natives to Iraq itself, were viciously assaulted by the means of a Chemical attack, which was blamed on the US if I remember, and yet he still remains in power. It is simply frightening to ponder what he still has available to him, and ready to use. It is appropriate that he is stopped, at a point in time that could be as early as March 7. .

That goes without mentioning the damage he could do to the world market by igniting the oil wells in his country, as he has also done in the past, and what he has threatened to do in the future.
