This blame the enforcers argument is not credible. Is it not obvious that disarmament is not a question of time, but rather a question of attitude? It's quite clear that Iraq does not have the attitude to disarm. Look no further than access to scientists. Keeping the inspectors in Iraq, multiplying them by a factor of 10, will not change the equation.

Regarding Bush administration attitudes toward Iraq pre 9-11, Bob Woodward's book makes it pretty clear that regime change was on the agenda. 9-11 simply forced them to deal with Afghanistan first. I would not agree with regime change in a pre 9-11 world, but the Perle arguments were already gathering steam in Condi & Wolfowitz heads.

Agreed on Korea. The Bush team appears far more inept than Clinton. They lambast Clinton for getting suckered into 1994 and their current alternative is?? TOTAL INACTION.
