North Korea has been making some pretty serious threats lately. Just recently they fired missiles into the sea of Japan, and threatened to attack if American B-52's flew over their country again. Despite all of these possible signs of war, The US has been adamant about reporting on the situation or even addressing it. Numerous sources claim that North Korea is one of the most oppressed nations in the world. Concentration camps are scattered throughout the land, and many citizens are starving to death or close to it.Looks like it's time for America to rain freedom down once again! But alas, Obama and others have made no publicized effort to take down Kim Jong Un's dictatorship. It was only 10 years ago that Americans were overjoyed that Bush was invading Iraq with American troops. Why isn't this situation producing the same level of enthusiasm.
What does America have to win if North Korea falls? Other than a debate with China, probably nothing. What did we gain by invading Iraq? Countless military contracts, investments, and maybe the most important advantage: oil. Had it not been for these benefits, congress probably wouldn't have been almost-unanimous in their choice to occupy the Middle-East.
Should America fulfill its role as a guardian of freedom and invade North Korea, or take up a more conservative strategy?
