Neighbours benefiting form it I doubt very much.

Turkey said it had lost 40 billion dollars since the gulf war because the amount of trucks crossing the border dropped from 2000 to 200. All the countries around Iraq get oil form them. If war starts it’s going to make it a lot harder to get oil. There are a lot of countries that will not support a war because of the trade between their country and Iraq. Many of the people in Iraq don't want a regime change anyway. These people have grown up with him all their life. Not everyone welcomes change.

As for me mentioning N. Korea, I was just making the point that the two countries are not that different in the view of the US but they are definitely being treated like it. Doesn't make sense.
