It's pretty spurious comparing present day North Korea and Darfur to Iraq in 2003.
The threat of Saddam's regime had been neutred via resolutions and sanctions systems with an immediate recourse to war if they were violated, and a UN weapons inspections system that had worked (hence no WMDs). Amongst other no-fly zones etc..
None of these conditions exist in North Korea or Darfur - as if you can compare them in any way, anyway.
There were other, more self-serving reasons, why Bush chose to "bite the bullet for the good of all humanity".
