Anti-Climacus

LINK: Our own good friend David Hucul has an excellent take-down of the anti-war left, well worth reading in it's own right. There is, though, one point I would like to expand upon:

"3). We don't have 100% proof that Iraq has WMDs."

Look at what happened with North Korea. We didn't do anything for precisely this reason-- why be antagonistic if we don't know for sure what they're doing? Now, of course, it is eminently possible that N. Korea does have the bomb. Now how do we deal with them? You'd have to be an idiot (or have no relevant knowledge on the history of the conflict between North and South there) to think we could now go in and displace the regime, or even be moderately bellicose. Simply put, if we were to do anything, North Korea could launch a retaliatory strike against Japan or South Korea. And we can't go in in the conventional manner, because N. Korea maintains too large of an army. Wouldn't it have just been easier to have done something before they had WMDs? Nah, because if we came to the conclusion, it might logically require us to do something in Iraq...
