No one threatened deadly force until North Korea did. It was their move in the direction of war that has instigated the US into planning preemptive war planning. It was thier game to lose. Now they will deal with a true threat.

NK can threaten to use a nuke all they want. For all of lil kimmies hot air he knows that if he were to use a nuke on any country that hosts U.S. military he would get nukes shoved up his Arse from the U.S. Military.
every country knows if you nuke U.S. troop or use chem weapons on them, the immediate response is you get nuked!
Lil Kimmie is mouthy and stupid but he's not that stupid even after a stroke.
In 1801, Philippe Pinel described patients who were mentally unimpaired but nonetheless engaged in impulsive and self-defeating acts. He saw them as la folie raisonnante ("insane without delirium") meaning they fully understood the irrationality of their behavior but continued with it anyway. By the turn of the century, Henry Maudsley had begun writing about the "moral imbecile", and was arguing such individuals could not be rehabilitated by the correctional system.[\b]

Also you are comparing this to the Iraq propaganda. There is no true comparison to the two scenarios. The Iraq war was started off of speculation and hearsay. This war if or when it becomes that will be started off of confessions from the perpetrators themselves. Iraq denied having WMDs North Koreal however boasts of it's WMD capabilities. With that being said you are comparing apples to oranges so to speak.

We gave them enough rope to hang themselves with. We made several gestures to help direct this situation in a peacfull manner. Last year we went to the extent of removing them from the "terror" list and this is their response. The threat of force came from them first.
"Our nuclear deterrent will be a strong defensive means ... as well as a merciless offensive means to deal a just retaliatory strike to those who touch the country's dignity and sovereignty even a bit," said the commentary, carried by the official Korean Central News Agency.

North Korea was shown to be funneling money for terrorist ventures across the globe. This is what landed them on the "terror" list. All that we did by putting them on the list is turn more focus on them in order to see events before they unfold.
"Our nuclear deterrent will be a strong defensive means ... as well as a merciless offensive means to deal a just retaliatory strike to those who touch the country's dignity and sovereignty even a bit," said the commentary, carried by the official Korean Central News Agency.
This right here states that even sanctions could be deemed a just cause for offensive action against a sanctioning nation. This is an out right treat. No matter how you try to twist this into a "Bad America" scenario you will fail. This time the US has it's ducks in a row and is playing it's cards right.
We are and have been trying peacful negotiations with NK but yet they refuse to take part. It is the worlds responsibility to not allow oppresive regimes like the one in NK to obtain the ability to oppress more people. Containment is an acceptable option. Should we interfere with their culture? No not unless they are trying to jack with other nations way of life.

Very simple the intricacies of the modern power grids and information technologies make them a very devastating blow to our way of life if attacked. Lives can and will be lost if our networks and power grids are attacked. This is just stating the obvious. Attack the US and the US will attack you. Why would that be a bad move on the US's part?

Come on we all know why those nations have nuclear capabilities. Some of them are allies and can be trusted others developed the technology at a time in which no one could do anything to stop them from it. We now can stop the proliferation of WMDs and rightfully should if the nation trying to develop the technology is a rogue nation that treats its people with no dignity at all. NK is a bad place. No one argues that but yet you try to compare them to the US. There is no comparison.

No because we were not threatening to attack them in any manner until we were threatened. Big differerence. You are just trying to make the US look bad still. Why do you hate the US so bad? How are they doing by you wrong?

No NK is saying do anything even place santions and they might use nukes. There is alot of difference. One is deffensive the other is NK acting like a child that isn't getting it's way. Why would you defend such an awfull regime like NK? You seem to think it is a human rights thing. Okay then we should invade them just off of that then. How many people are starving just so they can threaten with nukes? Once again why do you keep trying to make the US look bad?
