Sorry I didn't read your entire post but I think I know what you are talking about... and to be honest, who DIDN'T expect this?
When Bush marched into Iraq to finish off Daddy's dirty laundry we all asked why. He said 'Weapons of mass destruction, must go KILL!!' (ok, maybe I'm paraphrasing) but that was the reason. Then the war trudged forward and no WMD were found. Big surprise? Only sorta. Anyhoo, Bush starts going on about how 'We've liberated these people from a horrible man and his government' and fair enough it seems that the US did just that. BUT if you are going to justify the 'goings on' in Iraq with a 'We have to save the world and impose democracy on everyone' then you have to expect that N. Korea would be next in line. It is true to say that Bush may be a bit nervous about N. Korea having 'the bomb' as well, but then so do the French (among many others). After the US goes in and replays the Korean War (possibly this time with a US friendly ending) who will be next? China? Zimbabwe? Every other country in the world under a coercive dictatorship with capabilities of building nuclear weapons? Where does US jurisdiction end?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not communist, I'm not anti-democracy , I'm just anti-Bush (and all the other nutters out there like him who thinks it is better to blow people up than to try to resolve things peacefully).
