I appreciate the "first do no harm" approach, and I also recognize the possibility that the new regime in Iraq may not be immune from human rights abuses. Where we differ is that I believe the scale of inhumanity had reached an intolerable level so that these risks outweighed the benefit of continuing for another 15 years as is.
These are difficult questions. In North Korea, I suspect more people are dying, but a war would be much more costly. OTOH, I suspect the future of a united Korea would be much brighter.
