Civil War In Iraq Options

[Hartmann]

Personally, I am all for this. Let's let the sectarian violence escalate, pull our boys out, let the Iraqis duke it out, and whoever comes out on top, they proved themselves and we just leave it alone.

A civil war does not directly affect this country. It effects the countries in the Middle East and should give them a swift kick in the rear to take part in their surroundings and help.

Kim of North Korea has done the exact same thing Saddam has done. He oppresses his people. He refuses weapons inspectors. Even claims to be building nuclear weapons. But what does North Korea not have that much of the middle east does have? Iraq just so happens to be in the center of the middle east. A nice tactical control point. To claim the invasion of Iraq was not motivated at all by oil is pure ignorance. However, do I disagree with the US on this? Not at all. Because I would rather be in the country that will be one of the very few that doesn't suffer from energy needs in the future than in india, china, or europe. Was this selfish policy? Unfortunately, in a world of limited resouces, selfish policy has to be made. And we don't elect people to look out for the world. We elect them to look out for this country.

we would not want to start a war with N. Korea at this point in time. That would be stupid on our part...VERY STUPID.
1) Remember the Korean war? What happened when we crossed the line into China.... million man army waiting for us. We do not want to piss off China and North Korea sits way to close to her.
2) We are already fighting one war that has cost us billions. Why would we want to be fighting two wars at one time? Thats absurd. I guarantee if we were to invade N. Korea right now....there would be your draft.
3) Iraq was said to have nuclear CAPABILITIES. N. Korea is a lot further along than Iraq supposedly was. They are already testing long range missiles. We would see attacks on US grounds. Our country does not want that.
