... and while this may be true, there is really no logical way to attack North Korea for the timebeing. Similarly, the US cannot just waltz into Saudi Arabia, which is probably the worst nation on the earth as far as harboring and promoting terrorism, without serious issues. Iran? Same.

But maybe, just maybe, regime change in Iraq will create the sort of change that will allow us to challenge and undermine these nations in the future (obviously not referring to NK with this statement).

North Korea is currently a CF - but that's neither a new nor a straightforward problem, this regime has been an issue for quite some time. There's just not a way to attack it right now, to my mind. What would you suggest, RAC?

Well know things are much more complicated, and while they were before it's pretty apparent that the so-called "Bush Doctrine" has complicated the issue more. I had hoped that negoations (read bribes) involving both western and eastern countries would have kept North Korea in check (WMD speaking) until the "Dear Leader" (or whatever he's called) passed on - then maybe there would be room for change... but even I doubt that. Basically North Korea is one of those problems that I'd personally prefer to see contained, watched, and gently pushed hoping for constructive change.
