Well, North Korea is headed by an amoral, dangerous dictator, has WMDs, and has a history of invading its neighbors. So is NK as dangerous today as Iraq was in 2003, given all that we know about NK today and what we knew about Iraq in 2003?

What "inability to determine if Iraq had dismantled its WMD programs"? We had a pretty good ability to determine that until the UN weapons inspectors were hustled out of the country in advance of the US invasion.
