Korea => $while_we_re_at_it,

There are 1.3 Billion reasons why the United states doesn't invade North Korea. Switch the roles around, how do you think United States citizens would react if China invaded Mexico (with unfounded claims they had NBC weapons) and installed a communist regime there? Exact same deal with North Korea. Also keep in mind North Korea has the capability to absolutely devastate South Korea's civillian population in the event of a war (think massive artillery bombardments (with or without nuclear weapons) in the heart of Seoul). The humanitarian cost would be a great deal more than with Iraq. There's also the strategic advantage with invading Iraq that the united states can set up a friendly, democratic government in the heart of the middle east, theoretically bringing some stability to the region. Whether or not that will work is definately questionable.

Oh, and to keep on topic: print "Goodbye, World!\n"; # :)
