It’s Not About The Oil: The Real Difference Between Iraq and N. Korea
By Matt Margolis | January 6, 2003
The latest question being posed in the media is why is the Bush Administration choosing a diplomatic approach to the situation with North Korea regarding their nuclear technology development, why talking about regime change and possible invasion regarding Iraq and their weapons of mass destruction. On the surface, this sounds like a potentially damaging double standard. But you have to consider the key difference between the two to understand - and no, it’s not about oil interests..
Saddam Hussein has used chemical weapons in the past - even against his own people. He is a ruthless dictator whose intentions are evil and when put under the microscope, he concentrates his efforts on hiding his intentions. North Korea on the other hand has been comparably upfront on their desires and intentions regarding their nuclear technology development. What we have to fear is what Saddam Hussein is choosing to hide - that is what makes him more dangerous… that is why diplomatic measures don’t work with Saddam Hussein.
