    The USSR was like a vicious wolfhound, loosely held back by a thin chain labelled "MAD". North Korea is like a noisy chihuahua. They aren't a threat.
    Where is the logic though? Iraq ordered some aluminum tubes and all of a sudden they have weapons of mass destruction (nothing to do with oil). North Korea says they are developing weapons of mass destruction to use specifically against the U.S. but we don't go to war with them? Remind me again why we went to war with Iraq?

    Yeah, just like all that oil in Bosnia, right? That's why the US stopped a genocide over there (far too late, mind you) while most of the world just stood slack-jawed watching it happen.

    Better to be safe than sorry though. Thats the american way.

    This is the exact mentality we had when we bombed japan. Sure it ended the war, but insane amounts of people died. We didn't think of any other alternative but to fight fire with fire so to speak, and bombed the fuck out of innocent people. Obviously the fix to any and all problems.........

    Yes. Iraq never threatened the US. N Korea has several times. In both situations a dictator is killing his own people. The only difference I see is oil.

    That's the reason we use isn't it? Nukes = for self defense / deterrent. (MAD)

    So one persons views makes you hate a whole nation. Not a racist mentality at all.

    You are like the personification of everything that's wrong in this world with regards to war.

    Just because someone it threatening to attack you, doesn't mean they are going to, not only that, I truly think North Korea is smart enough to understand that attacking any nation, whether the US or not, would be pretty much suicide.

    I don't understand why you would want to attack a nation, killing potentially millions of innocent people just because someone doesn't like you :/ not only that, from what we understand so far, they actually have no way of launching a missile that far, and even if they did, and they decided to launch anything major like a nuclear weapon, I think its safe enough to say it would get shot down almost instantly seeing as all major nations have the ability to detect the launch of weapons that size.

    The exact second we step foot into north korea or launch an attack the American Chinese Wasr begans. So no we should go bomb them, North Korea is no threat to anyone and likely to blow themselves up before actually harming anyone else.

    Only 4% of our oil imports come from Iraq. We get far more from Canada, Mexico, and domestically.

    If Iraq was about oil, they did a real shitty job of it.

    I remember Bush saying one of the reasons we went to war is because sadam tried to kill his dad. Oh and oil but he didn't say that directly.

    Are you serious? Even IF North Korea is able to develop a nuclear warhead, they then have to develop an intercontinental ballistic missile and all the targeting equipment needed to successfully aim the damn thing. If by some miracle they are able to do all three of these things in thier poverty ridden country, they then have to get by the United States Missile Defense System. Yeah, that's right, something we developed in the cold war. A system that literally can swat ICBM's out of the sky. Recently, this system has added hit to kill missiles (Missiles capable of destroying nukes without causing them to blow up, through collision.) and airbore laser systems that can literally cook the missiles out of the sky using their own fuel against them. What chance do you honestly think N. Korea has in sending a warhead to our shores. FURTHER STILL, if they were to try it. THE ENTIRE WORLD, including China mind you, would take action against them.

    Patriots and the like haven't been tested on actual ICBMs.

    What does that have to do with anything? We take over the land and have companies who have special interests take over the oil. Just because we aren't importing it doesn't mean people aren't making billions of dollars from it.

    You see, this is why there are people around the world who don't really like the US.

    Luckily you are only part of a vocal minority and do not represent the rest of your nation and it's inhabitants. Not everyone understands that though.

    When its korea they have to shoot it at us via a missle. When its a country with oil they can bring the WMD in a suitcase so we have to take over their country just in case?
