The US has been itching for years to nuke some place, but of course they need a pretext . Therefore, they needle some country, get THEM to do a pre-emptive strike, then it's 'all systems go!'
"If the enemy comes at us with a dagger we’ll draw out a big sword to slice him in pieces, if he comes with a rifle we'll turn a big gun to blow him off...."
Your right America has more compassion then any other nation on this planet.. Think if hitler had our technology, you think he would be so nice? NO although NK should be taken care of and they deserve a nuke dropped on them like most of the middle east deserves.. Most people want to get this over already.. NK is a ticking time bomb with China using them as their mouth piece.. It is like two people you tell *just do it already*.

I will agree that I don't believe we really have any right to try and govern how other nations seek to defend themselves. At the same time though, if I take a dump at the edge of my yard, I have to think my neighbor is going to raise a few eyebrows...so I couldn't really blame him if he soaked me with the hose....
He responded to sanctions with death threats...(hence the "crazy" comment). Regardless of the trigger, he escalated it to an international threat of violence, which really opens him up to a sanctioned preemptive strike scenario...not a good place to be when even your staunchest ally signed off on the sanctions.

If this was true, we would have nuked Iraq. The US doesn't want to nuke anybody. It would tick off the neighbors too much. And, why do so, when conventional weapons will do the job?edit on 8-3-2013 by Gazrok because: (no reason given)

You can bet your bippy many eyes are trained on NK. And all are just waiting for the word to take action.
Our military is the best in the world.. We can take out a target easily if we want to and with little damage to the area or civilians.
Is this not true?
I would be very scared if I lived in NK.
The USA will not advertize what it's real plans are and I have no doubt we have all possibilities covered.
By the way, is it possible to be a hawk and a dove at the same time?
To say your military is the best in the world is more about national pride, than actual fact. The US military has not fought a genuine world power since the 40's and even then America had its allies.
Personally, i have hard time believing North Korea will attack South Korea and would attack the United States. Those photos were it shows Kim Jung-un visiting the troops- I ask, hes is not acting way too calm and jokily? He not acting like a leader who is about about to press the button for his troops to attack!
I think this rhetoric is for domestic purposes to keep the morale up.
Also i would not trust China. Something is fishy about this. China knows America is no friend ( as they've given their support to Japan with the Diaoyu Islands dispute.
any bets?? ill bet the DPRK says it was victorious in defeating the US SK with out firing a shot. Stand down, this was just a drill, nothing more to see, move a long...
Separately, U.S. and South Korean troops will stage a computer-simulated drill named Key Resolve from March 11-21, involving 3,500 U.S. soldiers and 10,000 South Korean troops.

North Korea is acting like a rabid dog. Do you know what you do with rabid dogs??? You put them down...
What I don't understand, and maybe someone can shed light on this for me, but why is it that the US had zero problem attacking Iraq when they "thought" they had nuclear weapons, but with North Korea, we have a leader who is threatening to USE them against us and we do nothing, well, nothing so far.... It just doesn't add up to me at all...
North Korea's leader placed his army on readiness to “annihilate the enemy” on Friday as the regime officially renounced all non-aggression pacts with its southern neighbour.
Kim Jong-un escalated his inflammatory response to a new round of United Nations sanctions by ordering troops on the border with South Korea to prepare for war.
Im also sure that China has strong contacts with those older wiser generals.
Iraq invaded Kuwait in the early 90's. What about the recent campaign after 9/11?
