I would not support a war on North Korea, They are alot better equipted than the Iraqi, and their will is alot stronger. They'll probably push you off the cliff together just to kill you even if they need 3 guys to do it. We should just give them some more food and be over with.

All the more reason to nuke them.

I hope you were joking. Even if it were a joke, it wasn't that funny.

im not for this war against iraq, but i am for one with north korea. the two main reasons why bush says we are in iraq is because of:

1) to liberate its people

2) to destroy weapons of mass destruction

all apply to north korea. north korea's people have been in near starvation for nearly twice as long as iraq's people have suffered. north korea is nearing completion of the worst type of wmd, esp. if you consider it could be used against a heavily concentrated area like tokyo or seoul...iraq could try to use one, but their only real target would be israel.

bush will not attack north korea, which will show the hypocrisy of the reasons he has stated above.

You know why? Because N. Korea doesn't have any oil wells.

I take it that you're Asian and you feel more loyalty to Asian countries than the country that you currently live in.
And being an American citizen means you have to be patriotic and question your government, not be a mindless robot. You must be one of those mindless rednecks. I think Timothy Mcveigh was a redneck too.

Ah, a typical response. Any time one questions your loyalty, call them a redneck.

I would not consider you any worse than any of the other traders in this country.


Let me ask you a question: Suppose the US re-instated the draft. Would you help your country by fighting in a war that you didn't agree with, or would you flee the country?

Hmm, if it was a legitimate war, I'd fight. If Bush was campaigning for a war in NK so he can win a few votes in the next election, I'd buy a ticket to Tahiti and stay a while. I'd rather get a real suntan vs. a flashburn from a NK nuke.

I agree. China has been isolationist for hundreds (if not thousands) of years. They generally don't feel the need to impose their power somewhere else, they stick to themselves and just defend their own land. If you look at their nuke arsenal, they never bothered to amass a lot of weapons, they just made sure that they had enough to use as a deterrent, to protect themselves.

Lol, well, it depends on your point of view I guess.
I take it Dalai Lama wouldn't agree, and neither would ..well, the people in Taiwan.

Does it matter now that NK has changed their position and agreed to MULTI-lateral talks. Funny, nobody (Russia, Germany, France) saw the need to speak out about NK's refusal to allow anyone else in the international community have any participation in the matter. Until recently NK has insisted that only the US and themselves should decide this issue, while the US has insisted that there be other members of the international community involved.

Communism will fail in China as well, they are already dependent on US money and have instituted reform that allow SOME citizens to run businesses. They are becoming much more prosperous than those around them, how long before the other billion say, what about me?
