I don't really recall invading the whole country, I don't recall overthrowing any goverment either, we just came after the terrorists.
And faulty logic from the CIA and whatnot aside, we invaded Iraq on the belief that they were a threat and that they were involved with 9/11 in some way or another... And overall Iraq was simply a ruthless dictatorship that needed to be overthrown anyway, regardless of our actual intentions of invasion... But no I won't be making a whole bunch of excuses for the mistakes we made, but they were mistakes, and everybody makes mistakes.
Overall, Iraq and North Korea are still two completely different situations.
