wow commando, i never realized how socialistic you were.
anyway... i'm not too concerned about north korea and i don't think washington really is either. north korea has no desire to start a war with anyone. they know that if they do, they won't have the support of the soviet union and china to back them up. they would be all alone. they can't even rely on alqueda terrorists and suicide bombers crossing their boarders to help them out. they can launch a missle or two, but then what? their missles have only a slim chance of making it anywhere except MAYBE south korea. while they have the range to reach los angles(not necessarially a bad thing) they would most likely be shot down shortly after leaving n.korea. if they head toward japan, they might make it only if it were a surprize attack.
so anyway, they launch a missle or two or more, maybe hit a target or two, then what? they would face not only the us, but south korean, russian, japanese, chinese and other un forces which would decimate them.
i doubt you would even see the "concern" for n.korean citizens that you saw for iraqis because we are not so concerned about pissing off the muslim world.
north korea just wants money. they've done the same crap before. they were just thrown thru a loop this time because bush didn't fall for the blackmailing crap. now they are just trying to get anything they can so they can save face while backing down so they don't get attacked.
not to change the subject, but this is why the anti-war argument of "north korea is more dangerous" doesn't really hold water. iraq was always a more serious situation than north korea.
