Re: Because at least that means after this coming Iraqi war, there should No more war for NK and Iran? but who knows

Huh?!? What d'you mean? You think the US-led crusade against Iraq will be over in a matter of weeks? Look, US troops are all over Afghanistan to secure a stable regime... all of Afghanistan's neighbors have publicly pledged support to President Karzai AND YET, rebellious warlords still roam the country, several high-ranking Afghani officers --including a Minister-- have been assassinated and... where's Mr Karzai, btw? I bet you that the US sneaked him out of Afghanistan --Karzai's probably hiding away in a CIA bunker in Langley, VA.

No, the so-called "regime change" in Iraq won't be a picnic... For that matter, it's not gonna be circumscribed to Iraq only. Since Iraq AND HER ALLIES (yes, Iraq too does have allies!!!!) can't retaliate at the US by landing troops in Florida, terrorist attacks against US targets will likely occur worldwide. That's a lose-lose game for the US to play because the US behaves like the richest man in town looking to pick a quarrel with a ghetto ganglord... but the ghetto thugs slum it in a trailer camp outside the city... So they don't care about the American moneybags blowing up their shacks --they're worthless anyway. Contrariwise, they know that every blow at the moneybags' estate will spoil it so badly that soon the whole moneybags family will beg a truce.... That's the flip side of "asymmetric warfare" --moneybags can't play tit-for-tat with bums.
