Not to validate what you said (because it is a complete red herring) but I think this deserved a response.
The difference is the US doesn't gas it's own citizens.

Do you understand the similarity? Can you see it?? I'll highlight it for you - "claiming to be scared of attack by someone who won't attack them is bullshit." We clear on that point now? Understand?
I see the point, the problem still stands.
For the past 50 years North Korea has been making that statement. In other words, in order for this statement to work, every president from Eisenhower would have had to say "Iraq is a clear danger to the US", not just Bush.
Can you see it? I'll highlight it for you.
Attitude of North Korea in 1959: Must prepare for US Invasion. Screw the people, build the military.
Attitude in 1960's: Must prepare for Us invasion.
Attitude in 70's : Must prepare for us invasion
80's: US invasion
90's: US invasion
2000's: Must build Nuke to prepare for US invasion.
Attitude of US towards Iraq in 1950's: Where is Iraq anyways?
60's: I'm hungry.....
70's: Vietnam!!!
80's: Little bunny foo foo was walkin through the forest, pickin up the field mice and BOOM! boppin em on the head.
90's: Iraq invaded Kuwait. Time to kick ass.
2000-2003: Iraq poses a clear threat to the US. Must invade.
We clear on that point now? Understand?

Yes I see your point. Because you do not wish to recognise how similar they are at the core you have tried to expand your point from what was originally stated in order to muddy the waters. It is a red herring.
"What I love most is the fact that he claims the bombs are for defense against US Imperialism.
A North Korean official, meanwhile, defended last week's nuclear test and said Pyongyang would "crush U.S. imperialists' schemes with its self-defensive power."
Right, so we haven't invaded for 50 years, but they are scared pissless of being invaded......
**coughBULLSHITcough***"
The 50 years would matter if you were trying to prove how silly they are, but not how much bullshit it is.
Capital punishment is for criminals who commit murder, not kurds just for being kurds. You can't compare the two.
You said the US does not gas its own citizens, which it does. I made no moral comment on it, not that I really need to as it too was an irrelavancy. And Iraq gassing the Kurds is not gassing its own citizens, but its own subjects.
