Should we just attack Iran and North Korea right now?

Question

Bush has told us they are a threat. And thanks to Bush's Iraq precedent, perceiving a threat, right or wrong, is justification enough to attack someone.

So when do the Chinese attack us, militarily or economically, based on the same rationale?

Tom K - As Bush has proven, unreal "threats" can be typed up by one's intelligence agency and used as justification for anything.

Bush set the precedent. Hard for the U.S. to demand any sort of "proof" for future acts of global aggression.

Answer 2

Perception of a threat is absolutely NOT a justification for attack. And what is their threat to the US? A threat to US hegemony? Hardly. A threat to our system of government or our citizen's way of life? Not at all.

The Bush administration has got the media excited about demonizing Iran & North Korea. Gosh, a few years ago it was Iraq, wasn't it? Before that Bush I & Reagan had Panama, Libya, Nicaragua. Kennedy & Ike painted Castro as the greatest evil since Hitler. In Grover Clevland's time, it was the Kingdom of Hawaii that was a great threat to American interests.

Don't be suckered by the government & its trained lapdog, the corporate news media. Most of the countries demonized are "evil" only because they won't do just what the military-industrial complex wants when it wants it. Not getting what it wants brands the country a threat to US interests.
