Eugene Volokh goes over the differences between Iraq and North Korea. He's right, as far as he goes -- but now let's ask the next question.

"If we can live with North Korea possessing and actively making nuclear weapons, why can't we live with the possibility that Iraq may get nuclear weapons?"

Or, put differently: assuming inspections fail, and assuming it's impossible to stand between Saddam and nukes, what makes that world more dangerous than the one we live in? And please. Don't tell me Saddam is more loony than Kim Jong-il.

As unsympathetic as I am to the administration and its approaches to both Iraq and NK, I do think the valid answer to your specific question is 'let us only have one nuke-armed loony, not two'.
