As of late more headlines have been popping up about the missile capabilities of North Korea. More and more people seem to think North Korea as going to send some kind of attack on someone. My question is can a war with large scale weapons really exist. Honestly we have never gone to war with a country who had the capability to launch a nuclear bomb. Do nuclear weapons keep us in an ongoing cold war? Kind of a hostile peace.

we've gone to war with countries that were backed by nuclear countries, but never directly with a nuclear power. we can't and won't ever do it because of a doctrine called MAD - mutually assured destruction.

That's not true. We fought the Korean War while Russia was supporting North Korea and we both had nuclear capability at the time. More recently, the Kargil War in 1999 occurred between Pakistan and India; both were declared nuclear powers at the time. They continue to have conflict over Kashmir. So nuclear weapons is no guarantee of peace, even a hostile one.

US know the effect of nuclear weapon that is why it do not like to go for war with a country that has nuclear (atomic bomb). It is just invading less powerful countries like Iraq Afganistan,etc. Since from the begining of the Iraq war, if Bush is sure that Saddam has wmd, for sure he will not intend to invade Iraq.

If Bush is a warrior let him wage war with Korea, this is what will show us that he is a warrior, and can defeat any country in the world. All those countries that can lounch a missile to drop in the United State have a good international relation with america.

Everybody know what happen to Nagazaki and Hiroshima, now America who cause all these do'nt like it to happen to her.

Yes, because we are at war with Iran right now. They are funding the insurgency that is giving the US military fits and creating fodder against the Bush administration.

This is the exact opposite of what happened when we supported Iraq when they attacked Iran. Iran is getting their payback against us right now. They are funding a war against the USA. They have nuclear capability now, the question is what happens when this war gets turned up a notch and the USA and Iran start attacking each other directly.

Total nuclear war. If say, the Soviets and the U.S. used the bulk of their non-obsolete nuclear capability during the most heightened period of tension in October 1962, a good chunk of humanity would have been killed by the blasts and the fallout would have claimed the rest. Anyone left after that would not be able to grow food and the water would be polluted.

In a nuclear war, the only true enemy is war itself

The closest to this is India and Pakistan, both are continually having border issues and both have nukes.
