We are in the 21st century, why is everyone so over paranoid

North Korea is a viable and potential aggressor. Under Kim's leadership, the government remains hostile and very anti-US. Some believe it is a device to attract attention and generous support from countries to just stand-down. They issued booklets warning citizens to prepare for a US invasion so is it a bluff? With missiles capable of reaching America and every major city in China, Japan and other areas it would seem to be a major gamble to doubt them and not be prepared. I do think that the US over-reacts in some places and sees shadows that don't exist but we shan't have the luxury of Paul Revere riding about to tell us the North Koreans are coming. It is a matter of minutes before your hometown might vanish. Is that so paranoid?

What utter nonesense,every country who has missiles,tested them.They warn shipping to stay clear of the splash down area.That's it pure and simple,Nth korea has every right to have this technology.You can guarantee theres plenty of them across the border.Of course they're in american hands,so that makes it ok.No nation no matter how powerful would dare to attack an enemy with nuclear weapons.The consequences are just too grim

They don't! They just need a reason!!
Bush at work!
"The truth of that matter is, if you listen carefully, Saddam would still be in power if he were president of the United States, and we’d be a lot better off."
—Bush at the second presidential debate in St. Louis, Oct. 8, 2004.

You are sure making a moronic assumption. Preparing a defensive strategy does not mean you think someone is going to fire a missile at you, it's just good policy.

They're not going to fire a missile at us, but they do fire missiles over Japan, and that isn't cool. No one messes with Japan.

Prevention is better than cure. So take precaution.
Japan can go to hell, and most people do not care a damn about it.
