How \u2018Regime Change\u2019 Wars Led to Korea Crisis<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/header>\n

Exclusive:<\/strong> The U.S.-led aggressions against Iraq and Libya are two war crimes that keep on costing, with their grim examples of what happens to leaders who get rid of WMDs driving the scary showdown with North Korea, writes Robert Parry.<\/p>\n

It is a popular meme in the U.S. media to say that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is \u201ccrazy\u201d as he undertakes to develop a nuclear bomb and a missile capacity to deliver it, but he is actually working from a cold logic dictated by the U.S. government\u2019s aggressive wars and lack of integrity.<\/p>\n

Indeed, the current North Korea crisis, which could end up killing millions of people, can be viewed as a follow-on disaster to President George W. Bush\u2019s Iraq War and President Barack Obama\u2019s Libyan intervention. Those wars came after the leaders of Iraq and Libya had dismantled their dangerous weapons programs, leaving their countries virtually powerless when the U.S. government chose to invade.<\/p>\n

In both cases, the U.S. government also exploited its power over global information to spread lies about the targeted regimes as justification for the invasions \u2014 and the world community failed to do anything to block the U.S. aggressions.<\/p>\n

And, on a grim personal note, the two leaders, Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi, were then brutally murdered, Hussein by hanging and Gaddafi by a mob that first sodomized him with a knife.<\/p>\n

So, the neoconservatives who promoted the Iraq invasion supposedly to protect the world from Iraq\u2019s alleged WMDs \u2014 and the liberal interventionists who pushed the Libya invasion based on false humanitarian claims \u2014 may now share in the horrific possibility that millions of people in North Korea, South Korea, Japan and maybe elsewhere could die from real WMDs launched by North Korea and\/or by the United States.<\/p>\n
