Which is more of a threat? Iran or N Korea?

Question

Why would you say so? Is there another country you feel is more of a threat to our national security? Please explain

Answer 1

Iran. They could push an already unstable muslim population over the edge - worldwide.

Answer 2

Iran. N. Korea is broke, its people are sheep, the leader is a nut case; while Iran is rich, the people are total radicals and the leaders are not fools.

The biggest threat is actually Mexico. Look around, they are in full scale invasion mode. They have invaded every state in the union except Hawaii, Bush is totally ignoring the problem, even though both the R's and the D's are complaining about it. Sure, he signed a bill to authorize a fence, but it allocated NO money. A lot of good that's going to do.

Answer 3

Iran. While both countries are led by the bizarre and dangerous, Iran would view their deaths as a trip to paradise for warring with the great satan, while NK would view death as a bad thing.

I don't think NK is enough of a threat to worry about... as long as they don't start handng out nuclear bombs. Iran on the other hand already supplies terrorists... its not a great stretch to see them exporting an armed nuclear device to an "Infidel Nation".

Answer 4

Iran without question. This is why (imo):

1. Iran is wealthy - they have oil and a fairly sophisticated country and can sustain well on their own. North Korea is not and has to rely on help from countries (Russia and China).

2. Iran is based on strong theology not dictatorship w/ iron fist. North Korea relies on a dictatorship to rule not a theology that the large majority believe in.

Answer 5

Iran. They have money and fanaticism. The North Korean president is a freak. North Korea is very poor. Iran wants to rule the entire Middle East, wipe out Israel, and drive the price of oil to very high levels.

Answer 6

Iran - they have support of groups outside their nation which could help them get information and plan attacks. They also have more grievances against the USA. I am worried about Pakistan. They have nuclear weapons and the Taliban is reforming itself in Pakistan right now. What if there was a coup d'etat and the Taliban got control of those weapons?

Answer 7

N Korea has more advanced nukes & rockets.
Iran has more dangerous leaders. They actually want Armegedon. I'd have to say Iran, but N Korea is a close 2nd.

Answer 8

Iran. The Muslim extremist that run that country are trying to bring about the end of the world. They are nuts, plain and simple. They figure if they can kill enough people that their "god" will come back and that they will get their 70 virgins when they get to heaven.
That crack pot "Kim" in N. Korea is all talk. He don't want to die. Also, if he gets too crazy, China will crush him to keep peace in the region.

Answer 9

Irans leader is probably not mentally stable. He is waging a jihad essentially. This jihad's goal is the elmination of Israel and the US.

N Korea's Kim Jong il is just a power hungry dictator trying to gain some clout with the big boys. Kim won't sacrifice his country by carrying out suicide attacks on the US.

So Iran is more dangerous, because they are capable of kamikaze tactics. Wheras Korea does not want to be erased from the earth.

Answer 10

Neither. Iran was moving in our direction (even helped with invasion of Afghanistan) until Bush included them in his ridiculous "axis of evil." They don't want a confrontation with us and anybody with any understanding of their history and capabilities knows it would be a disaster for us if we took aggressive action against them.

North Korea hasn't the capacity to do any serious harm to us on any level.
