North Korea

[gator]

Anyone else here slightly concerned about all of the recent bomb tests, missile launches, reinitiation of nuclear plants, and threats? We all know Lil' Crazy Ass Kim Jong is "out there" and these tactics aren't exactly new to him. However, the latest threats specify that N. Korea will retaliate if any of their ships are searched. Anyone think that bombs and/or missiles are getting exported to say... Iran or Palestine? Maybe Lil' Kim is just testing Obama's mettle, but I thought Obama was going to get all these crazy bastards to like us?:D You know, talk and reason with them, restore the integrity of the US and all that jazz. Just wondering when he'll figure out that these guys (e.g., Jong Il, Ahmadinejad, terrorist in general) can't be reasoned with except by threat of force or termination. Yeah, go ahead and sit down with them and talk reasonable with them; they'll be laughing all the way to the launch pad. I don't know about you guys, but I'm a little more concerned about these nuts (some of which believe it is a holy duty to wipe certain ethnic groups off the planet, kind of like Hitler) getting nuclear weapons than I am about America's image abroad.

Not concerned at all.

Not concerned at all.

Ditto - they do this shit all the time. In the 90's they'd start a nuclear project, then in exchange for a payment from the US they'd disarm and destroy it. Did it again in 2006 which we took them off the terroist list.

North Korea will not be a threat until oil is discovered there.:D
