Iraq is an easy target because no other country has received such a level of surveillance from above, as was evident from Colin Powell's presentation yesterday, and on the ground. Iraq is not in a position to provide great resistance to the 140,000 troops who will be mobilised there. Although other pillars of evil such as North Korea are engaging in war-mongering, they will not be attacked as they do not have oil. Other undemocratic regimes will not be challenged in the same way as Iraq.
