North Korea???

Question

I said shortly after sept 11th, when bush wanted to go to war with iraq, that we didn't need to worry about them. They only killed each other. We needed to focus on North Korea!! Does anyone agree with me now? This supposed "nuclear crisis" has been going on since before 9/11!! Does anyone remember!!?? The media played right into their hands!! I quess there isn't anything to profit from by going to war with North Korea. They don't control the Oil supply!! what do you think???

Answer 1

Finally someone has got it in the head. The problem is not everyone is going to likely want to fight North Korea now cause they have what Saddam didnt when the Yanks decided to get him. Iraq was in a sense a critical mistake considering the inadequacy of the USA forces sent there and the circumstantial evidence which links Bush to the popularly contrived "invasion for oil" agenda of some loons in the White House as well as the blatant lack of sufficent WMD evidence (not counting the supposed chemical IED found some time ago). There isnt much really to profit from invading North Korea, and the fact that the wretch leading them is supported by the Chinese only makes the risks worse (remember that the Chinese do not think as Westerners or even other East Asians do, so they probably do not realize the threat that they are coddling and may even see him as an asset). However the World and the USA has a lot more to lose now if they let North Korea get away scot-free (or even worse with incentives like what some of the more naive are suggesting). Something must be done but what exactly and will it be enough remains to be answered (hopefully it will be soon before it is way too late).

Answer 2

I totally agree i am not even sure why we went to war with Iraqu i know one thing it wasnt to liberate them from sadam.... i never bought that line.. if we wanted to liberate every country that had a evil dictator there wouldnt be enough soldiers in this country we would have to draft. of course we didnt go to iraqu or any war with good intentions we always have an alterier motive like my dad says there has never been a good reason to go to war, war only benifits the rich man and we are the pawns but lots of people still buy into that crap.i never did.... i took alot of harrasment about it especallly when 9-11 fist happend but now everyone is a little more open seeing that the facts are SLOWLY coming out...you notice Bush isnt all up in arms about n. korea #1 i think because they arent a 3rd world country that would be defeated in 1 day # 2 if he talked tough to ill xau kim or however you spell his name, would basically say fu and fire some more missles, which could only hit their nieghbors japan but still he not so tough with this guy is he?

Answer 3

Yes, the whole North Korea deal is out of hand, especially with the news. They won't start a fight, they know their government will be wiped off the map. THe leader just wants to rattle his cage for attention. And he's getting it. Oil prices are controlled by speculators. The more we panic, the more that is profited by speculators. Systems stinks, I know. We, as a people, need to be more rational about these things. That's a starting point.

Answer 4

No, Kim Jong Il is just mad that the US underestimates him, the worst thing he could do with a nuclear weapon is drop it on S Korea (that would suck for me) but they dont have guidance to get a nuke anywhere near the US they cant even fire missile out of thier country let alone a nuke. There is no threat from N Korea, thats why we arent at war with them., and technically if you want to think about it we are still at war from the Korean war because it ended in an Armistice.

Answer 5

You are all forgetting the China factor. There is more to the situation than financial gains. Regardless of how Iraq was handled, North Korea is whole different ball game.

Answer 6

I agree.

Not only are there very little resources to steal in N. Korea, but they would be even harder to crush than Iraq (which isn't going to well, I've noticed).

Too little to gain in N. Korea financially, and far to hard to take by force at this time.

Answer 7

Actually, we should have made Afghanistan more of a priority than Iraq, Iran, or North Korea.

Answer 8

in case you've been South Korea, would you want to reunify? imagine how problematic it become for Germany to reunify. The East become very adverse and lower than stepped forward, now multiply that by using a ingredient of a minimal of 30. The "tremendous chief" can might want to die first anyhow.

Answer 9

No North Korea is a donkey cart country.

Answer 10

North Korea hasn't had anything that can hit us.
