North Korea...what would you do?
According to the website that shall not be named, N Korea looks like they're going to test one of their nukes.

The whole first reason we went to Iraq was because they had WMDs pointing right at us! The entire time N Korea's
going "We've got nukes, yes we do. We've got nukes. How 'bout you?"
And it appears that Bush has simply ignored them.

At what point would you (or would you have already) gone into N Korea to stop them?
What if N Korea starts holding nuclear auctions?

1. Apparently we only invade those countries we think have
nukes if they have some other valuable resources to benefit from. Other than that, bombs away!

2. No! We only invade if we are SURE that there is no real
chance of nukes or other WMD that would make it difficult. The Admin knew, all along, there were no WMDs in Iraq. The Admin knows there are WMDs in N. Korea. So, ignore them. Hard part, do later.

3. No oil, no invasion
I don't think Bush really thought Iraq had WMDs pointed at us before we invaded them. If he did, then why didn't we invade N. Korea to begin with? They've been a direct threat to our west coast for some time now.
N. Korea is calling the US out, because we are hypocrites in our nuclear weapon policy. And N. Korea won't be the last.

4. But but but but but
Saddam tried to kill my Daddy! (And, he's got a lot of oil).

Chances are, North Korea has already held their auctions. We bid too low.

Ooops.
