Maybe Bush will now attack North Korea for another notch on his warmonger belt. ;)

Kim Jong Il never did anything to Bush's dad though. And that's what he bases his warmongering upon.

It's been known for a long time that North Korea is the real threat. We should have settled that matter rather than going to war in Iraq. Pretty much every lie about why we went to war with Iraq is actual fact when applied to North Korea.

Military action is not likely. It may be too late for that even if the U.S. wanted to. Harsh sanctions are more probable but even then, if NK gets desperate and starts to crumble from the sanctions, it may launch or threaten missle strikes as a last ditch hurrah. So are even harsh sanctions the way to go here?

BOMB THE FUCK OUT OF THE LITTLE SHIT!!!!

Seriously that probably isnt the best idea.

Although i must say this, he's soldiers march in an even more retarded way than Hitlers! They actually walk exactly like the puppets in Team America.

That is about all the world community can do is harsh sanctions. But on the other hand, will that really and truly hurt them today because they have been an "isolated" society for many years now.

Ripley: I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit... it's the only way to be sure.

Hudson: F#@kin' A!

Interesting detals about the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_Non-Proliferation_Treaty

...and about how NK withdrew from the treaty..

"The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, also Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT or NNPT) is an international treaty, opened for signature on July 1, 1968 to limit the spread of nuclear weapons. 188 sovereign states are parties to the treaty, however, two (India and Pakistan) out of seven confirmed nuclear powers (i.e., those that have openly tested nuclear weapons), and one unconfirmed nuclear power (Israel) have neither signed nor ratified the treaty. Another nuclear power (North Korea) has withdrawn. The treaty was proposed by Ireland, and Finland was the first to sign. In New York City, on May 11, 1995, the parties to the treaty decided by consensus to extend the treaty indefinitely and without conditions."

Problem with bombing the hell out of North Korea is , they would in retaliation bomb the hell out of South Korea and Japan.

If it's done right the first time, they won't be able to retailiate.

What can you do? Countries want nukes, and countries will get nukes. There's no stopping it. Iran will follow shortly, then Egypt is next. Eventually everyone who wants one will have one.
IMHO, start working on nuclear detection technology, and anti-missile technology, find ways to protect the hell out of our borders. You can't put the genie back in the bottle, it was just a matter of time. Let's face it, when countries like Pakistan and India can develop the bomb, pretty much anyone can.

The only country that can do anything really effective is China. North Korea gets 70% of its food and power from China, other than it has no trade dependence on the rest of the world. But we all know China won't do that.

Basically it is all going to kick off sooner or later, and its better sooner so that NK doesnt get too many nukes and have the chance to sellt he technology to anyone, which we know they will.
