Interesting that this has not been brought up yet. They are just as big a threat, if not bigger, than Iran.

Either way... these countries don't need to be testing long-range missles, warheads, nuclear weapons, etc. I know they want to build their national defense and all, but no one who is sane would use a large nuclear weapon on another country in this day and age. Nuclear weapons have been around for about 60 years now, and a grand total of 2 have actually been used in war, both by us, and both actually ended up saving lots of lives on both sides.

NK and Iran are not responsible enough to have nuclear weapons. They are crazy enough to actually use them. Countries like the US, Britain, France, etc. would never use a nuclear weapon again. The way the world is today would never allow it.

Are you talking about a guidance system or the actual warhead???

guidance system...my dad and i talked about this over the weekend, he works for the NSA so i had asked him how much of a threat N. Korea was since they had the bombs...he said "well, i cant really say at length but there really isn't much chance they'll ever land a bomb outside of their testing zone"...then he went on to say that they don't have the mechanism used to be able to guide the bombs to a target, and that they're years from developing that and even then he said one would be nearly impossible to reach U.S. soil

They're just showboating.. nothing out of the norm for that country. North Korea and Iran -- both possible foes in the future.

What happens if the United States intervine and all we find is nothing more then Korean prop. at work? Was it then for their coveted fish market trade we had to intervine? Im sure some would use that as the reason to complain and write a pop/punk record as well/

No, by then Bush will be gone and a Democrat will be in so we'll make the right decision. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Honestly I'm probably going to vote Libertarian in the next election if Hillary gets the nod.
