Well, if you call their bluff and kill them, you will be the one ending up in jail.

I agree that it is worrying that they have nuclear weapons, but we have no right to do anything to a sovereign nation. We are a much bigger bully and, I assume, part of the reason NK and Iran want to join the nuclear club is to deter us from attacking in the first place.

By the time things ended from what you started what makes you think things would be any better over here?

OP - you have the heart of a cowardly bully determined to attack anyone that he can to reduce his fear. That never works out very well because his victims and their friends always figure out how and when to stop the bully. You need to read Tsn Tzu’s "The Art of War" or see a shrink or both.

We wouldn't have to put up with any more "Gangnam Style" videos... since any attack on North Korea would kill millions of South Koreans and enrage the rest. No more Samsung, Hyundai, Kia, or LG either. Praise! Glory!

Why don't we nuke every nation with nuclear weapons? After all, they might attack us in the future.
I was thinking the same thing.. and then again, we would eventually have to nuke ourselves...

Well, you had it right I guess in your first post. Not very Christian of you. At any rate, I don't advocate playing the roll of a bully, and conducting a pre-emptive strike because something may or may not happen. BTW, when has the last time Iran has invaded anyone? When is the last time they've occupied another country? Now when is the last time we've invaded another country? How many countries do we currently have troops in?

What you need to understand is that neither country has the ability to deliver a weapon to the U.S. mainland. They need a long range intercontinental missile that's capable of carrying a nuclear weapon to do that. They have short and medium range missiles that can only go so far. It's not about just making a bigger missile. In order to launch a missile half way around the world, it needs to leave earth's atmosphere....that's how long range missiles work. Once in space it orbits the earth using it's rotation to reach it's target where it's knocked out of orbit and it glides down to the surface.

This is why each keeps tryinlg to put a satellite into orbit successfully....that's the baby steps to being able to build an intercontinental ballistic missile.
