You do realize the Saddam is a creation of the West along with most of the Mideast. We helped create this mess that has been festering for 100 years. We were actively containing Saddam while he and his supporters in the UN looted the Iraqi oil revenues. The right thing to do is to give the Iraqi's a fair chance at self determination, after 100 years of being manipulated by the West. The thing we must do is ensure Iraq is in a position to increase oil exports and maintain a reliable supply.

Although it would be the right thing to do in North Korea, the price would be too high and we have no strategic interest in NK.

The right thing to do would be to threaten an economic boycott of China if they dont reel in their mad dog.

<<How many Americans (a percentage) do you think would say a year later, if we attacked North Korea tomorrow and the nightmare atrocities of that horror factory were revealed to all, and Kim Il Sung was captured, that we'd done the right thing?>>

Ok, since you didn't have the guts to reply to my first answer to you I'll take this one. It's close to 0%. We do a strike, NK launches and SK, Japan plus parts of the left coast cease to exist. We reply and kill millions of NK people. That causes China to nuke more of the US. We nuke a lot of China. This what you want?
