Will he attack North Korea?

http://news.scotsman.com/latest.cfm?id=3289790

With stuff like this, and their continually increasing nuclear capability, as well as his apparently gung ho habvit of invading people he's not a big fan of, with four more years to work with, will he push the button?

[TopAce]

I did not even click on the link. He won't win the election. His popularity and support fell down.

[Night Hammer]

If not Bush I hope someone does somthing about them, spending all their money on nukes while their people starve to death, there is somthing not right about that

[Taristin]

Don't be so sure, TA. Polls are inherintly innacurate. He may win.

And should he attack North Korea (Or South korea by mistake) I'm packing my things and going to Oz.

[TopAce]

He may win it, but I wouldn't consider his chances favourable.

[Omniscaper]

Oh boy, not another arms race. Whoever becomes president, HE BETTER PREVENT another 9/11. Personally, I prefer the US to take the fight to the enemy instead of watching it happen outside my apartment window. It would be nice for the United Nations would get more proactive with their investigations and responses so that the US is not the only one to lift a finger about potential Hitlers or worse.

[Grey Wolf]

So how do you compare Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden to Hitler? Marked difference in scale there.

[DragonClaw]

Well, someone needs to get rid of North Korea's psychotic ruler. I hope you people know what goes on over there.

Give me a sniper rifle and I'll assassinate him myself.

Actually, I'm for disarming North Korea. Not sure if Kerry would do it. Most likely he won't do anything at all.

He won't do anything at all because of..?

IF he is Very stupid then he might, Okey many peoples say's that USA can win easily but they wont they get their ass kicked until end because NK is not like IRAQ was USA could lose in that war over 100,000 soldiers and if NK use mass-Destruction weapons then there will be lot more casulties

and IF NK gets Chinas help somehow well I would not want to be in american shoes

[Taristin]

Because then he's just like Bush. If anything gets done, it'll either be in Bush's secind term, or not at all.

oh please. The US has created and supported more Hitlers than I can keep track of.

The only solution is to work towards peaceful re-integration for North Korea. They're too well armed and too proud to be conquered militarily. North-South relations are already improving, and increased cooperation and trade relations are well on the way to finally ending the bull****.

And for ****s sake, they are not a ****ing threat to the US. Why is it that anyone who doesn't to as they're told suddenly become this great boogeyman lurking outside your window. My God, 9/11 happened once, and if it happened a hundred more times, its still not comparable to the losses sustained by most nations from foreign attack, not least of all from US initiateves. Sure, the North Korean leadership may be assholes and tyrants, but they have never ever threatened the US.

Its funny that you mention North Korea using WMD, since a)They do not posses them and b)they're not stupid enough to use them even if they did, but fail even to aknowledge the merest possibility of the US, which both posses and has used WMD, doing so.

[Grey Wolf]

On a side note, Stalin's purges in the USSR make the casualties on 9/11 look like nothing.

[Gloriano]

a)They do not posses them  

And where is proof fot that? are you sure that they don't have them?

[Rictor]

Stalin's purges, Mao's purges, Hitler & Co, Japanese atrocities in Asia before and during WW2, European colonialism, Russian and US foreign policy during the Cold War...historically speaking, 9/11 was tiny.

The thing is, I would venture to guess that the most devastating atrocities were and still are economic in nature, not military. Both Stalin and Mao inflicted the most damage via their failed agricultural policies, during the closing moments of the Korean War, the US devestated North Korean irrigation systems, which caused massive famines...I mean, this persists even today. A single word from the WTO et al can mean life or death for more people than the entire US military.

No, I'm not. But if even US sources say that NK does not posses them, thats an assumption I'm willing to make. And now the question is, why should they be prohibited from having them? By what right does the US say who can and cannot posses nukes? They have no authority to decide that. Its a very powerful detterant, since no nuclear power has ever (since developing nukes of course) been invaded. And these days, thats seem the only safeguard against US agression.

"Absence of proof is not proof of absence",

Ps. I believe that at this moment NK has at least active nuclear program.

[Cyker]

Escalation is what'll happen - Violence begets violence, and it'll only get worse until everyone is dead.

Damn I'm pessimistic today

Okay I'll give some thought to people that try and educate others on alternatives to fighting and insincere negotiation, but they're a dying breed...

[Omniscaper]

Maybe if all the world leaders would just take up painting and puff the magic dragon, then perhaps the world would be a calmer place. =)
