Now it just might be the jaded cynic in me... but North Korea could fight back, whereas Iraq could only put up token resistance.... and I happen to think that this little fact may have entered the political process of whom to attack in the "Axis of Evil" - but then again that just might be the cynic in me talking

You could be right... N. Korea may put up some type of fight but..... this could also be the cynic in me as well but I just think that if we had left Iraq alone it would have crumbled on its own anyway. Saddam's sons would have eventually tried to kill him off and take control. The country still would have descended into chaos.

But like i said.... that's the cynic in me

I think the scenario you mentioned was highly unlikely.

I don't think that would have happened.

Like I said... my opinion.... clearly one can tell I'm not a supporter of the war in Iraq to begin with.

I just hope that you don't actually tell people that you think your situation would have happened.

There's a possibility that one of Saddam's sons would have tried to wrest power away from him, but weren't they pretty much given the run of things anyway? Palaces, women, money, etc?

why try to run the country when you can be lazy and not give a crap!

[shinerbock]

Well, and even in the unlikely situation they took power, whos to say the situation would improve. It would probably more likely stay the same or get worse.
