North Korea announced that the recently imposed sanctions against them are a declaration of war. They also said they would it would "deliver merciless blows" to anyone that breached their right to survive under the excuse of carrying out United Nations resoluitons.
They are thought to be in the process of testing a second bomb. Is it time to start worrying?

I am quite worried about it, as I am from Japan. When I was in Japan, there were a few occasions North Korea shot missiles over Japan, which landed in the Pacific Ocean, and they claimed that those were satellites. Japan and North Korea do not have a good relationship so it was worrying already, but what made it more worrying was America got upset with it saying that it could have targeted America (but it was closer to Japanese coast than anything else, and America was hundreds of miles away.) As you know, sometimes when America gets involved things can get pretty nasty, like it is in Iraq now .
Even though people of North Korea deserve a better government, it is certainly not a good idea for them to fight a war. North Korean military can do really crazy things, and they are trained to do that. That is not a good thing for us neighbours of them as well as the rest of the world. I really wish that it gets settled down peacefully.

Concerned yes, worried no. North Korea does not yet posses a credible Nuclear deterrent. Hence is aware that a small nuclear strike at South Korea or Japan, would lead to it's own destruction. North Korea has for many years loved baiting the US and UN, that's what it's doing now. There is too much at stake in the region for it's fragile stability to be undermined by any US or UN military action. It's time to worry if they develop a credible Nuclear deterrent. Regards DR.FOX

Worrying?
Aboiut this specific problem?
What about Iraq, Iran, inummerable global problems, not to mention global warming?
My point is that there's so much negative stuff going on right now that it's useless to focus on just ONE. As a global community, I ask you, how many of you feel totally impotent about making this planet into a peaceful and caring one? Don't ignore the stupid wars of the moment, because we must be informed, but getting hysterical about possibilities, or speculating about the future when we - as the people of this planet - are not privy to the behind the doors' dirty agreements between our "leaders" is not going to get us anywhere, because no one really tells us anything that we can truly have faith in.
No, it's not time to start worrying. Worry never helped anyone, not does it resolve anything. There was a war in Korea in the 50's. There are masses of things that we can worry about, but worrying is a waste of time. We need to realize that there isn't such a thing as "Democracy," we need to take back our planet, our ideals, our values - without violence.

Honey, it was time to worry LONG ago. Who knows, this second bomb might work and wipe out half of Asia. But with the bloody stupid war today, someone random, like Canada or something, could show up with a bomb. This war is wholly unpredictable. Don't let it control your life though. Just live it like normal. And make certain you have no regrets. Who knows, this might all just blow over (no pun intended) or not. Just brace yourself for the unknown.
Hope that helps!

We r past the time of worry, it is time to make preparations for yet another war that may touch the western parts of the U.S. mainland. North Korea is not the backward little country it use to be, thanks to the U.S. and the United Nations where it was a member for so many years and learned so many secrets of bomb making and missile making. A Commie will always be a Commie and like a zebra cannot change it's stripes. It was very naive of the U.N. and the U.S. to think otherwise. So westerners beware.

Dunno.
Guess we're going to call their bluff and play around with diplomatic sanctions. What a waste of time & effort.
We need to explode a little bomb of our own perhaps to show that we can't be bullied into bending to their demands. What else can we do? You get nuts with their finger on the trigger, and if no one directly stops them, what will? Why is peace such a threat?

Not in the slightest. Have you seen Kim Jong il - what a little pleb. The only dangerous thing is whether or not his massive pumpkin napper will explode.

They need to be stopped before they attack a country. It's never too late until the bomb goes off.
