Yes that's very true. But people still want to talk about the war.

I honest believe that regardless of what happens at the UN the US and its
coalition will indeed invade Iraq. Be it Iraq invading Iran in 1980, or
invading Kuwait in 1990, or the US invading Iraq in 2003, these are all wars
of aggression.

IMHO, the key to resolving the North Korea issue is China, as the former is
quite dependent on its neighbour. Then again given the anti-China sentiment
found within the Republican Party this could also devolve into another Cold
War with China merely replacing the defeunct USSR.
