North Alabama Rant

Once again I find myself wondering, “How was Iraq more dangerous than Iran and North Korea?”

Axis of Evil commentary aside, it appeared at first glance back then when Bush was pushing for the toppling of Iraq that Iraq was the “lesser of three evils.”

Now, years after invading Iraq for no reason at all (Bush’s reasons and predictions were false or blatant lies), we find ourselves in a world with two tyrants building or trying to build nuclear arsenals.

Of course, we can question the motives of Iraq versus Iran/North Korea all day and get nowhere. We can speculate how Iraq was a pushover compared to the other two. We can speculate how Iraq had easy oil. We can speculate about how doing something about North Korea would piss off China.

We can speculate that Bush invaded Iraq instead of Iran and North Korea because he is a weenie.

Again, I must reiterate that Saddam was a bad person that needed to go. Heck, if Bush had been upfront about it from the beginning I probably would have supported the effort to dethrone Saddam. However, we all know the truth about Bush’s “reasons,” “arguments,” and “facts” about Iraq and their so-called programs.

I personally do not have a problem with Iran having a nuclear energy program as long as that is what they are using it for. One thing is for sure, I do not trust the Bush administration to tell me what Iran’s intentions are.

What does concern me, more than Saddam ever did, is a nuclear North Korea.

The question is, “What is the Bush administration going to do about it?”
