Over here in Australia the real controversy isn't the war on Iraq but the fact that the WMDs never appeared, and it's being revealed they were just a 'possible example' of the 'latent danger' in a regime like Iraq's. Yes, Saddam Hussein was brutal, but so was the way the US dealt with the problem. I think the world would be far more willing to trust Bush and his administration if they hadn't defied the UN by forging evidence, and then attacking even though the entire world opposed the action.
Even then I'd be still be glad that Iraq is free from Saddam's dictatorship... but they're not going to be headed into prosperous democracy. We have to face facts. Afghanistan is now back under control by warlords who are far more ruthless and dangerous than the Taliban ever was. The life of the Afghanis has become worse than ever, and countries like Australia aren't helping by having ruthless concentration camps for any non White/Christian refugees arriving at our shores. Countries like Britain aren't helping by supporting forged evidence, and America is definately not helping by defying the laws they are supposedly trying to protect, and by acting (basically) like children. The whole "Freedom Fries" thing was just ridiculous. The French have a right to have their views just as the US do, and the entire rivalry thing was incredible. Even now I have to hear jokes about "cowardly French" on a regular basis. It's every bit as racist as jokes about ethnic groups, jokes that would outrage people today.
If Bush takes that attitude to North Korea we have a real problem, possibly the Doomsday scenario that's been a cold reality ever since the first bomb hit Hiroshima. He's playing cowboy in the wild west, ready to mosey on down to North Korea and have a shootout with the bad sherriff - except that the bullets are nuclear warheads, the bystanders are entire races, and the desert is our only planet; our home; and the cradle of our civilisation - Earth.
