No. It would most likely involve China then. China would not back down. This would be the start of World War III.

I don't think we will. Many other countries have much more to lose with North Korea's crazy actions - if no other reason than they are much closer, and in missile range. I think that countries like Japan, China, and Russia will be able to squeeze North Korea enough.
If nothing else, eventually the North Korean people will become quite hostile if they're getting absolutely no imports of food or other necessities, and then Kim Jong Il will have too many internal problems to be much of a problem.
The U.S.,and everyone else, will do everything possible to avoid war because North Korea has a huge army and, of course, those missiles.

I don't think we have the option to go to war with N. Korea. We're trillions in debt (from what I hear), we're spending approx. a billion dollars a week in Iraq. We have a lot of problems here at home, promised money that will hopefully get to foreign aid and a lot of things that need to be dealt with and I just don't think that we'll be able to cover the financing for another war. Especially a nuclear war with N. Korea. I'm a pacifist so of course I don't think we should go to war.

We may have to. This is not our decision. It's North Korea's decision. There has been absolutely no aggression towards North Korea since the end of the Korean War. So tell me, why do they have the 4th largest army in the world if no one is fighting them? They are the aggressor. They are trying to force us back to the bargaining tables to get considerations from us for them standing down their nuclear war machine. This is nothing more than government sponsored blackmail. But if they continue to fire long and short range test missles, what are you going to do? How are we suppose to know they're test missles and not real pre-emptive strike missles? How are you suppose to reason with a 5'2" mad man with a short man complex who is a sexual pervert. This is someone with an inferiority complex that has a very large army and he thinks he has us nervous. How would you like to deal with a leader that uses 12-15 year old girls to satisfy his leaders sexual desires. A man that pours millions of dollars into his army while the people of his country are starving. Our only recourse is to get his only allies ( China and Russia) to join us in talking reason to him.

We are already at war with North Korea. Right now it is a silent war behind the scenes.

I twouldn't be a conventional war with ground troops or tanks. North Korea is too populated and it would be very difficult to do an urban assult. We are already in a diplomatic war with them. If we and the rest of the world would stop buying there cheap goods that make up most of there economy, there country would go bankrupt and they would have to rejoin the civilized world.

Of course not. North Korea is a Stalinist dictatorship with nuclear weapons and a very strong, well financed military. We only attack very poor countries where our military has no real opposition and that lack any real weapons of mass destruction. Lesson: create nukes and we'll leave you alone

i heard that n. koreas leader just pulled this stunt because of all the news about Iraq. News repoters have stated that he wanted a little of the limelight and that is why he did what he did. After his 15 minutes of fame/ glory I think he will go back to his cave and keep the rest of the world guessing.

No, because Russia and Communist China are backing North Korea and its ambitions. Their warning to Bush not to take strong measures is the reason why Bush is emphasizing diplomacy in this most dangerous of cases. Bush is also afraid of Communist China's 200,000,000 man army.

I don't think we will go to war with N. Korea. At least not anytime soon. In the future, who knows.
