Why War? A public forum on Iraq, North Korea, and U.S. foreign policy

What are the real motives behind the Bush administrationís plans to invade Iraq? What are the likely consequences of the war for Iraq and the Middle East, including the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?

Why has the Bush administration taken a different approach toward North Korea? Does Bush administration policy depart significantly, and dangerously, from recent U.S. foreign policy?
