So the question is simple.
Why does Bush concentrate on Iran and itch for an attack on Iran when North Korea is a heck of a lot more dangerous????
First off, a quick analysis. :)
Iran says, our Nuclear Program is for Generating Electricity and is Completely Peaceful!!!
Bush says: No, you're lying. You want Nuclear Weapons!!!
You are the most Dangerous Country in the World!!!
North Korea says, Hey Bush!! We HAVE Nuclear Weapons and are building More!!
Bush says: NO You are Lying!! You don't have Any and Dont You DARE Test any Nuclear Weapons to Prove you have them!!!
North Korea says, Hey Bush!!! We Already Have Missiles that Can Hit the USA!!!
Bush says: No you Don't!!!! Stop lying and teasing us. Dont you DARE test fire a Missile to prove you have them.
North Korea just Warned the USA that it would Nuke America if it felt Threatened!
Get the picture???? Who's more dangerous in your eyes people???

Also, a couple of facts,
A) Iran has NEVER attacked another Country! Iran has been attacked several times, one of which was the famous 8 Year Iraq-Iran war that Iraq started with US, European and Arab support!!
B) North Korea has Invaded South Korea and is Currently, as in Right now, Still Officialy at War with South Korea.
Why do you think there are American soldiers on the South Korean border with North Korea???
D) Speaking of aggression: Bush himself isnt one to speak seeing as how he's managed to Invade 2 Nations in less than 3 years!
E) Iran is of NO threat to America.
Israel is the Only nation that considers Iran a Threat. (which it is Not since Israel has Enough WMD to wipe out Half the Planet!)
So what do ya think!!???

Do people simply not get it????
The way to fight Terrorism is NOT by constantly waging wars against Nations!!!
That ONLY creates MORE Terror!!!
Good example is Iraq!!!
Before the US Invasion, there was No Terrorism in Iraq and NO Zarqawi (whos thankfully Dead :) )
After the Invasion, a Terrorist attack Happens in Iraq Everyday!!!
And After the US Invasion, the Terror group, Al Qaeda in Iraq is Born and Declares war on the "Occupiers" and the Iraqi Shiites, Kurds, Iraqi Police and Iraqi Army.
Also, who do You think was responsible for the Terror attack in Amman, Jordan!!???
It was Al Qaeda in Iraq!!!!!!
Get the picture????
Also, some Government officials had reported before Zarqawis death that his Terrorist Network was as Big as Bin Ladens, if not Bigger!!!
Again, Get the picture???
All this because Bush decided to Invade Iraq!

So basically, what most people are saying is that because Iran has Oil and Israel feels "threatened" by Iran, America should attack Iran???
Kind of ridiculous and cold hearted don't ya think???
Wanting to send young American men and women to Fight and Die for Oil or Israel???
But again, Israel is in No Way, Shape or Form in Any "Danger" from Iran.
Israel could Destroy Iran in less than a Week!
Its got enough WMD to Destroy Half the Planet! Including Nuclear and Neutron bombs.
So that leaves Oil.

Lisa: Well that video you put up should actually be Rated R.
First off, its a nice piece of complete Islamophobic propaganda.
It is Not Ahmadinejad thats in those
photos. Even critics have said so. And that incident happened Decades ago.
The Terror attacks that your video shows had Nothing to do with Iran!!!
Lets go through them shall we??? :)
Munich was done by Palestinians.
US Embassy and US Marine Corps headquarters in Beirut were Also by the Palestinians.
The US Air Force Base in Rhein Mein was Also done by Palestinians.
The Achille Lauro terrorist attack was, Again, by the Palestinians.
TWA Flight 840 was done by Palestinians and Pan Am flight 103 was done by Libyans.
The CIA agents were killed by a Pakistani terrorist.
First WTC attack was done by the Terror Network Al Qaeda.
Khobar Towers attack was also by the Terror Network Al Qaeda.
USS Cole terror attack was also by the Terror Network Al Qaeda.

9-11, Madrid and London were Also carried out by the Terrorist Network, Al Qaeda. As we know.
As for that salute near the end of the video, it has Nothing to do with the Nazis which is obviously what youre implying.
Its a simple salute that nations the world over use. Even some Americans use it too. Nothing more than that.
And as for the graphic part at the end of the video, it shows Extremist Fundamentalists.
So to finish off, Nothing in that Video has Anything to do with Iran or Iranians.
Thanks!

I say that America is the most dangerous, the reason I say this is as an American citizen we have yet to call into accountability the fact that this administration stole not one but 2 elections. They started not one but 2 wars. They have had no accountability in re guard to the money spent. They have had no accountability in the crimes that they have committed. I would say that George and company are the most dangerous, as they have already proven that they will use weapons of mass destruction to obtain their personal agenda's even if those agenda's are not what the people of this country wants. I don't see how we can solve or be part of a solution to any major crisis in the world until we first solve the major crisis we have here in America. That crisis being we have criminals occupying the highest offices in the country and no one has bothered to indite them on the crimes they have thus far committed.

Alright look, the UN sent inspectors to Irans nuclear facilities, and miraculously all secret test sites were stripped and imploded overnight. So if they were making energy and not weapons they wouldn't have covered up all their stuff. ALSO Iran is a terrorist state (It's a proven fact look it up). So if they did make energy they could use the by-producy into dirty bombs, and who would they give it to? - the terrorist that they support, train, and arm. North Korea is an independent state that hates the world and with a nuclear missle they could do a lot of harm to Japan, China, Russia, South Korea, and countless other countries. Do you even know anything about North Korea? For the past 50 years the kids in elementary classes are taught one thing : The USA is the reason you eat dirt and live in dirt. It's true look it up. North Korea makes their children hate the USA, train them to shoot at american pictures, and tell them that the USA has taken over and corrupted South Korea and that someday they will unite the Korean Penninsula. So I think that both threats are bad and that Iran is the worser of the 2 evils. These are all true statements watch the history channel or the discovery channels stuff on them or you could look it up on the internet. Ans those quotes of Iran and Bush and North Korea aren't real statements. You can't make an argument with crappy stuff like that.
Also the reason for the insurgency and terrorism in iraq is because where Americans are the Anti-American extremist will go to fight them, so would you rather fight them here in america or in Iraq? Most of the insurgents are from countries in the middle east and they go to Iraq to die fighting so that Allah will reward them in the afterlife with 92 Virgins. It's true.

First of all calm down and then you might want to organize your rant a little
Precept # 1 America is Good
Precept # 2 North Korea and its current leader is dangerous
that's pretty obvious
Precept # 3 Iran is looking for attention and ways to make money
plus they also hate the Israeli's and they also want
to take control of the Middle East
with those things in mind you can understand that we need to help stabilize Iraq first
Deal with either North Korea or Iran next, probably Iran
since Iran seems to want to push its agenda on the entire region
after Iran has been dealt with - then we can engage North Korea
To answer your question I think Iran probably is most dangerous
but if push comes to shove, we got the jets
and the fighters and the courage to do whats right.
To help keep the Middle East stable

US will never go to a war against Iran for the below reasons:
1- Iran has done nothing against USA ever so why USA should go to a war against Iran?
2- USA needs Iran against the wealthy Arabs in the region. As you may know Iran is the only non- Arabic Islamic Nation in that region
3- Iran is very powerful and is a regional super power. Going to war against Iran will cost a lot of money and will create the 3rd world war so USA is not willing to create such problem as it doesn't want to do such thing against China. Yes if it was a weak nation like Iraq or panama , USA would go in, invade and finish them off. I remind you that the same situation even worse took place back in 80's. Iran was the winner of that conflict and all USA did was to make a movie starring by Chuck Norris fantasizing a win over Ayatollahs and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
4- Geographically and strategically, Iran is not an easy target for USA. Iran is a mountainous country and Iranians can fight in the mountains very good. Such war will take years to finish.
5- USA doesn't have the capital to face Iran with an army
6- USA is already in deep problems in Iraq with more than 2000 casualties
7- USA will never attack Iran. USA knows Iran as its another state. If USA attack, Iranian government will murder pro- American prisoners and intellectuals in Iran.
8- USA knows that the majority of the Iranians dislike Islam and the government. USA knows attacking Iran will create an unnecessary hatred against Americans in Iran who are already loved in Iran.
9- USA will never attack Iran because Russians and China is very depended on Iran for Oils and other products.
10- USA will never attack Iran because it will create international sympathy for a dictatorship which is already facing internal political battle between reformists who are supported by the West and hardliners .
11- And in the end, International community will try to topple Iranian theocracy by political strategies exactly what USA did to Russia. Let's hope for the best of Iranian people, Mid- East and International community. Less wars and more politics is needed now!

There are key fallacies in the question. Both Iran and North Korea pose a danger to the world. It is not only the USA that is concerned about these two rogue nations. China and Japan are quite agitated by Kim Il Sung's conduct as are the European Nations with Iran. Why must every complex issue in this forum be reduced to :demonizing GWB?". Listen to the putrid anti-semitism of Iran's President and the hysterical harrangues of North Korea's "fearless leader" and thank God, with all his shortcomings, we have George W. Bush as our President.

The axis of evil statement bush made. In comparative logic, Iran is more dangerous because it is more lucid and logical. North Korea has the entire world, except china, against it. It will be put in check easily. Iran thinks the holocaust was a lie and wants Israel obliterated. Not disolved. Obliterated. Iran by itself isn't dangerous and neither is North Korea even with nukes. iran is dangerous because it has close ties with Syria and Lebanon and many of the other countries in the region who are harboring terrorist supporting governments. North Korea is a joke. They may have a 1.2 million man army, but they are broke. One nuke in the air or on American soil from them will obliterate their country completely. We can only hope for their sake, that China urges them to restrain themselves.

I have only been able to come up with this....
North Korea will have its day. Right now it's important to the neocons' agenda that they get complete control of the middle east and its oil. Oil is directly related to war and the ability to wage one.
Syria will come, either with or after, Iran. Israel is our chosen partner on this front.
Japan is partnering with us on the North Korean issue. Holding them off a little until the time is right. We certainly do not want to upset China right now. We want to make sure we have all our defences in place before we go their.
For more insight...read up on the Project for the New American century. You'll find the whole thing pretty much outlined on their website. Take notice of the members.

I was asking that question before we invaded Iraq. North Korea at that time was still more dangerous yet we went after Iraq anyway. I think we are going down a list that reads 1. Iraq, 2. Iran, 3. North Korea and we just have not gotten to North Korea yet.

Iran has American troops to the east and to the west of them. They also have oil.
North Korea has little in the way of strategic resources that would be of interest to the US. There is also the strong possibility that China has North Korea's back. One thing to keep in mind is that China is the second largest foreign holder of US treasury securities and is therefore funding the American government. Cross China by playing too rough with North Korea and there may be great financial pain for the government.

These are certainly exciting times! Unlike some of u very ignorant yanks - your president has the ability to see with his eyes behind the ordinary eyes. If the USA does'nt step in to balance the power amongst the likes of North Korea, Iran, Iraq & the out-of-control Hezbullah in Palestine, who else will? Come on, give the man his due - even us so-called illiterates in Africa can see where things are going.....
