Zimbabwe is also guilty of this.

In fact, most of the things you listed, one dictatorship or another is guilty of.

That is your argument? Well, lets address Zimbabwe. . .Threat against the US, economically or militarilly speaking? Nope. Hussien, yes on both counts. Has Zimbabwe shown any real imperialistic urges, such as overthrowing the rightful ruling of friendly neighbouring countries? Nope. Is Zimbabwe currently refusing to abide by treatise and UN sanctions? Nope.

Iraq is alot more unique than you give it credit for.
