Voice from the Commonwealth Commentary, World Views and Occasional Rants from a small 'l' libertarian in Massachussetts
"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your council nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

"Your blog is bullshit"- anonymous angry French reader.
I think the comparisons of Iraq to North Korea in terms of WMD's doesn't work. They both hold WMD's and both brutalize their own people. But, I think the motives for sitting in their boxes are different. Saddam sits there defying the world losing billions in oil income because he choses to. All he needed to do to end it all was to let the inspectors do their job. He sits there now biding his time. And it is his mortal time. He doesn't trust his heirs to turn him into the 'Eternal Leader', he thinks only he can accomplish it by becoming the modern Saladin. He waits and gives the world the finger because he is not prepared. But, at his age, his time is running out.
The Kim's of North Korea though have a different outlook.
