Not only should we consider it a real threat, we should nip that problem in the bud with decisive action. The BS from Dear Munchkin Leader needs to be put to an end.

If there's one thing I disagree with Reagan on, its that we shouldn't be prohibited from sniping foreign leaders when all else fails. A few sniper bullets and a CIA-induced coup could spare the NK people from the evils of war.

Considering Hawaii is part of the country, yes. Even if they are weak, it don't matter. To quote that Bug's Life movie, "it's not about food, it's about sending a message."

No? OK, can you be bothered to explain as to why you don't feel it's a threat?

Why shouldn't we consider it a threat? If someone drives by your house and shoots a round over your rooftop, do you consider that just a good neighborly exchange and nothing else?

As loathe as I am to get involved in yet another 'action', if NK is able to send a long range missile to Hawaii we need to have an immediate position of strength.
Lots of people are inclined to dismiss NK because its leader is a little guy with a bouffant and elvis glasses.
The truth is that Kim Jung Il has no conscience, and would not care if he killed off 50% of NK. He is a man that has no fear for consequences of any kind, and that is what makes him so dangerous.

Kim Jung Il has been dead since 2003.

I also voted no.
While we shouldn't let them get away with it, we shouldn't consider it a real threat (to our country). It is a threat, but not one that they can follow through with.
