North, South Korea and the US still remain legally at war since the Korean War.

This story is but a propagandized drum roll or excuse for another DPRK nuke test.

o.k. then Regenmacher... I just successfully tested a rather feeble nuke but a nuke none the less and I consider your post on this thread a declaration of war and if you post anything further I warn you of "merciless blows"...
Propaganda -Wiki
The aim of propaganda is to influence people's opinions or behaviors actively, rather than merely to communicate the facts about something.
Is the Bush Doctrine Dead? by Patrick J. Buchanan
We should engage in direct negotiations with the North, warning them that any export of a nuclear device to a hostile regime risks an attack by the United States and any nuclear weapon used against Americans, anywhere, traceable to North Korea will bring certain and massive nuclear retaliation.
However, in return for ironclad assurances they have opened up all nuclear programs to inspection and given up further development of nuclear weapons, we should offer the North Koreans diplomatic ties, economic aid, and a security pact sealed with a U.S. withdrawal of forces from the Korean peninsula.
Great though its crimes, Kim's regime will never equal in evil those of Josef Stalin or Mao, both of whom had nuclear arsenals greater than Kim can ever achieve – and America never went to war with either. Meanwhile, put the bellicose bluster on the shelf. It has done less than nothing to advance America's security.

I think theres a very fine line between actualy declaring war and saying something a is a declaration of war. [/quote[]
Its a fine line alright, so fine that its not really going to matter when they start nuking people.

Iran, also we keep telling them, to stop all nuclear activity but they wont and they aren getting madder at us.

fyi - Over 100,000 civillians have died since the start of the war in Iraq...46% of which were under 15 years old. That's not right is it? We were supposed to help them.
An estimated 654,965 additional people died in Iraq between March 2003 and July 2006.

You're saying you and the majority of people you know think it's ok to bomb innocent people? You think it's ok to strike first to prevent something which might not ever happen?
That worries me. What kind of upbringing makes you want to be so violent without provocation?
I'm all for taking out NK's military should they make any kind of strike...but bombing another country to make a point? Hasn't Iraq and Afghanistan taught you anything?

And if it matters... I’m from north London of a regular non-religious background. My family are all military. have been for generations.

I understand why some people are freaking out a little over NK getting a bit above itself with the nuke test and threats of war etc...
but...
Why does America feel the need to carpet bomb every country that has different views than the US?
Let them rattle their new nuke capability... it's not like they've actually done anything wrong with it yet.
The US spent years testing nukes when other countries didn't agree with it. Just because we consider some states to be 'rogue' it doesn't mean we should have the right to flatten them.
Sure, if they launch any kind of attack, then you can retaliate.
