You know, to be honest, he was all over "wmd" in Iraq because he already knew they didn't have them and weren't really a threat. I think most of us knew that, at least, most of us who paid attention such things before then. And I think it's fairly well established already that I think Bush Jr. himself is an honorless coward and a perpetual failure who uses threats of military force to cover for his personal shortcomings and to make himself feel important, so no one should be surprised by my assessment.
Iran and N. Korea, on the other hand, really are a threat. I doubt we'll invade them, because they really are dangerous. Well, Iran is maybe less of a threat, but they're very powerful in the area (thanks to us) where Iraq really wasn't (in spite of us helping Hussein into power and keeping him there). Our posturing, however, is likely to provoke _them_ into doing something. That's the problem with being the bully on the block. There's always someone whose reaction to being bullied is to hit back, and to hit back hard...
