Eighteen minutes to go. Checking the live from Baghdad shot on CNN, waiting for the fireworks to begin. It's funny, I'm more concerned with what North Korea is going to do in the next few days than what Iraq might do. Iraq probably doesn't have any weapons of mass destruction. Their army will likely be overwhelmed by massive arial bombardment. Mass surrender will be the order of the day, at least outside Baghdad. In Baghdad they might put up some resistance, but I don't see why the US couldn't just lay siege and whittle them down bit by bit. They ain't got a chance man.

On the other hand, North Korea has a million man army ready to invade South Korea at the drop of a hat. Something like seventeen thousand pieces of artillery within range of the south. Possible nuclear capabilities, almost certainly chemical and biological capabilities. And a crazy motherfucker of a leader very likely to use them. They know the US is occupied with Iraq right now but will almost certainly turn their attention to North Korea once they are done with Iraq. In their sick, twisted view of the world, North Korea might see this as their golden opportunity to invade the south.
