"Iraq was chosen because they were weak. After 12 years of sanctions, Iraq was "do-able"

I certainly hope that if our leaders were about to go to war they would do so against a foe they thought was "doable". And yes, Saddam was a little Hitler. And at one time, he had WMDs and actually used them against his own people. There was no evidence he ever got rid of them, and whenever we tried to determine the status of those weapons, he did everything in his power to hinder our investigations -- even when we had 250,000 well armed troops poised on his borders he was still playing games. I have no problem at all with the invasion, but I do have problems with how the aftermath has been handled.
As for NK surely no one would advocate going to war against a nation that might have a nuclear weapon except as a last resort. Let's use a bit of common sense here.
