I oppose the invasion of N. Korea too, but I'm hardly in favor of maintaining Lil' Kim in power. An invasion would simply be a very stupid thing for the US to do. I have no idea why some people can't understand that, but they don't.

Don't forget that Hawkie is being VERY WELL COMPENSATED for his work in Iraq. He has a real stake in continuing the mistake! He's not some poor jarhead who wanted to go to college and didn't have the funds..

I opposed an illegal and unwise unilateral invasion that has harmed the interests of the United States and played right into the hands of our enemies. Were this war is "illegal", then why haven't folks initiated article of impeachment against Bush?? Maybe because those very same legislators voted for it? The war was legal, both according to US law, as well as International Law, (per the United Nations Charter and Iraq's violation of the UN cease fire agreement in 1991 UNSC resolution 687). In fact, UNSC resolution 1441, declaring Iraq in material breach of that cease fire, was passed UNANIMOUSLY. That sounds pretty "legal" to me... So just because you say it's "illegal" doesn't mean that it is. Why don't you settle for a more subjective term.. something "touchy-feely" like "immoral".. Hawk
