The Carolingians (and U.S. State Dept., and Russian, and Chinese, and a lot of people in the Pentagon and the CIA) think that "containment and deterance", rather than "regime change" is the way to deal with Iraq. They are not so upset at the idea of Saddam having WMD, as they calculate he'll never use them (again). And that all it will take is one U.S. Division of heavy armor in Kuwait, and an occasional visit to nearby waters by a carrier group, to deter.

As soon as the Iraq "regime change" is done (but long before any "nation-building" has happened, if it ever does), expect to have the exact same debate re. N. Korea. To save time, we can all just go back to our old Iraq posts, change the names, and repost them.
