Hundreds died in India in recent days -- we are not invading Pakistan.

Had those hundreds of people all been Americans, and the attack linked to Pakistan, I dare say we'd been seriously considering it (formidable a task as they would be) if we didn't obtain the necessary cooperation from the Pakistani government in tracking the perpetrators down.

Essentially, that bombing is up to the Indians and Pakistanis to resolve.

North Korea has real WMD programs and ties to terrorism -- we are not invading North Korea.

Listen.. Iraq invaded a sovereign country, Kuwait, and was defeated. Their punishment was to disarm and dismantle their WMD program to the satisfaction of the UNSC and suffer sanctions until such satisfaction was arrived upon.

If N. Korea invades S. Korea and is defeated (once again), they will be under the same stipulation via the UNSC resolution process.

The same for Iran.

You have spouted BS about Iraqi WMD and ties to terror for years on this thread but it does not change the facts -- and the fact is we blundered very badly by invading Iraq.

That is not a fact. That is an opinion.

When you can learn the difference between facts and rhetoric, then maybe we'll have something else to discuss.

But I'm getting rather tired of your incessant BS.
