    I challenge your challenge! Well the arguments as to why Iraq was
    considered a threat to the American people have been repeated many times on
    this list, I dont feel the need to do it again. The fact that you do not
    agree with the arguments doesnt change the fact that many were made. In any
    case, would you agree that the arguments made for a threat posed to the
    American people by Iraq were more compelling (or, from your perspective,
    less non-compelling) than arguments made for a theat to American people by
    North Korea? It doesnt seem North Korea wants anything more than to
    continue to enslave and starve its population and take over South Korea.
