Mutual destruction is a great deterrent. Even if he gets nukes, I mean real ones, ones that can blow up junk and stuff, he knows that firing them is last day.

Right wingers love to scare people and say, “but he’s crazy, if he gets one he’ll use it.”.

Course these are the same mooks who said the Russians and the Chinese would too. And India and Pakistan would too.

No one wants to destroy their own country. If he does end up with them, it just means we’ll have to be nicer to him.

While its true they might be able to Nuke Japan, they also know that they’d be wiped off the planet before they had time to open a bottle of cheap champange.

Their posturing at the will of the new Chinese-Russo alliance.

In other words, this is all a stunt, and Bush, as always, is swinging at a feint.

NOTE: NK Dong 3 missile can only reach as far as Alaska or Hawaii > unknown how acurate the missile guidence system is, so if shot at Hawaii it might miss Honolulu and hit Maui or some other unpopulated location! One shot at Alaska would probably take out a bunch of wildlife, but the radiation would end tourism to Alaska for a long time! NK would only use their nukes if attacked by the Bush Regime, so Dubya would cause the disaster!

Also I cannot imagine them firing one at the US. Dick Cheney said it last night.

They’d have to be able to fire more than one.

They won’t be. And they cannot hit inside the continental United States, unless you want to consider Alaska, where they could take out that bridge to nowhere.

But notice how the right wingers are ALL talking about his missle like they were going to hit LA with it or DC. They KNOW it can’t reach that far, but they tell the people this ANYWAY!!!!!

They lie like Nazi’s.

The NK if attacked would also send one million troops across the DMZ into South Korea, with orders to kill every American soldier in their path, so most likely 50,000+ of our soldiers would be slaughtered in the conflict, and all of South Korea destroyed with hundreds of thousands slain! Both Koreas would cease to exist in the end and would be a wastelands!

No they can’t Oppenheimer.

The distance on a good day with the wind to their backs is just under 3000 miles for their dickdong 2 missle.

Air Miles from Seoul to Los Angeles is 5,956 miles. Air Miles.

Missles travel by the air. Thats why their called missles.

Now if the dickdong 2 is also a torpedo, then gee, maybe they could slam it into the pier at fishermans wharf, I don’t know.

But its not a torpedo. Its a missle.

And this missle will land in the sea, about 500 miles from the mainland.

Buy a globe.

I don’t think you guys are taking NK seriously enough, but I don’t think attacking them pre-emptively would really do anything other than what Kim Jong Il wants. I think most of you will be singing a different tune when you suddenly find out that NK can launch a nuke right into San Francisco…

Seixon,

It is our side that has been shouting about North Korea being the real problem in the world. We have been pointing out that this maniac has nuclear weapons, while your side is so focused on Iraq and needing their oil. Sorry, we beat you to it. Now, what are you guys gonna do about it? Since, it is the republicans that control all three branches of government.
