Korea /= Iraq

McConnell isn't the only one spouting this Korea line. We now know where it came from. In a lunch with television journalists pre-speech, Bush espoused it as well.

He really does live in an alternate universe. South Korea was facing a threat from outside; Iraq faces one from within. South Korea asked the UN for protection; Iraq did not. South Korea was attacked by an enemy; Iraq was invaded by the United States on the pretext that it would be "good" for Iraq.

I think the President of the United States has gone mad.

It doesn't seem to have dawned on any of these yokels that, despite how crazy Kim Jong Il is, nobody from North Korea is actively shooting at us, nor have they for many years. Certainly no suicide bombs there (let's not give the guy ideas, either).

"has gone mad" has such lovely 19th century overtones. The reality is simply that Dubya doesn't live in this universe; he lives in his own little universe where everything goes the way he thinks it should. I believe the clinical name for this is schizophrenia.
