[QUOTE="BobNOMAAMRooney%20nli:337692"]BobNOMAAMRooney nli said:[QUOTE]Kim Jong Il doesn't necessarily kill anyone who tries to leave NK, he just sends them to one of the hundreds of concentration camps in NK where prisoners are routinely used as guinea pigs for chemical weapons. The idea that Saddam was worse than Kim Jong Il is absolutely ludicrous. Look at the threats posed by the two at the beginning of the Iraq War Saddam -Tortures his own people -Starves his own people -No chemical weapons -No nuclear weapons -A crippled military (remember the fight the vaunted Republican Guard put up?) Reduced from 7 armored division to 1 and 20 infantry divisions reduced to 17, no fly zones etc. -Contained by his neighbors, incapable of attacking Kuwait Kim Jong Il -Tortures his own people and supports his economy with a massive labor camp network -Starves his own people -Has chemical weapons, testing them to improve their effectiveness -Is developing nuclear weapons, has ICBMs -Commands the fifth largest military in the world (over 1,000,000 troops)[URL=http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/dprk/kpa.htm]99 divisions to be exact, all ready to attack South Korea[/URL] -Faces opposition from 36,000 US and 685,000 South Korean troops[/QUOTE] I forgot to mention that there was no regional power (such as Israel or Iran in Iraq's case) that would have opposed North Korea's power play (China is one of the DPRK's few supporters on the international level and would probably use the chaos created by a DPRK invasion of South Korea and Japan to occupy Taiwan, while Russia would probably remain neutral) That leaves the South Korean and US forces as the only opposition to the DPRK in the region (Japan's post-World War II constitution made it illegal for their military to be anything more than a small defense force). That's clearly a much larger threat to global security than a contained and weak Iraq. [/QUOTE]
