Does anyone else see this as a potential problem?

Question

At the end of October, North Korea was blatantly testing nuclear missiles. Now, at the beginning of November, Iran is testing missiles in the Persian Gulf. Personally, I find this disturbing. We still have ALOT of active duty personnel in S Korea, and of course we all know the situation with the middle east. Does anyone else wonder how this is going to turn out and/or be handled? It seems the only thing being seriously discussed in news is the politics of next November. What about THIS November?

Answer 1

I am 67 years old. When I was a child, we had duck and cover exercises. We got under our desks to protect us from the A-Bomb. Russia had hundreds of them and most of them were pointed at us. North Korea has one. Iran is on it's way. They know the same thing that we do; the day the send a bomb is the day they die. So they posture and they gesture and they blow. It gets them butter and wheat and Coca Cola. It is like a giant game of chess.

Answer 2

This is not a "real" problem. Its simply posturing and rhetoric
and attention-grabbing by Iran and North Korea. Don't forget
that Bush called them the "axis of evil" a few years back in
his State of the Union speech. Tit for tat here.

Iran and North Korea are doing this to get trade conessions
and other freebies from the UN.

Answer 3

You cannot expect other countries to listen to that mad man, Bush.
