It reminds me of the JFK position where the had an issue invading Vietnam, because if the communist threat was that troubling, why didn't they invade Cuba.
If you wanted to go into Iraq for a legit reason, then you'd have to conclude that there were many countries to come before it on the list. As Ethan has so accutely pointed out.
But North Korea is actually doing that which we accused Iraq of doing and it binds a lot of liberal platitudes that once were. They covered their silence in protesting the war by saying "well we thought the threat was real." Now there is a real threat, and they believe they'll lose their base (the left) if we invade or they support it.
