It would be interesting to see what would happen if NK launched a nuke at us. Would the UN write them a letter of condemnation? Would Ron Paul say we brought it on ourselves because of our presence in SK?

Would we get lucky and it would make a direct hit on San Francisco while Nancy Pelosi is home?

I think if you just prefaced all your comments with the fact that, as far as you are concerned, we should be an imperial nation and run the whole world by force it would make this simpler.

You'd have ZERO problem seeing why large Soviet forces in Cuba would be an unacceptable threat to us yet you won't even begin to allow any one else on the globe that same right to self defense.

Tough as this may be to accept, yeah, one of the reasons North Korea wants the bomb is fear of us. You know, the people with the army in their back yard.

I had a mouth full of yogurt just go out my nose reading that....



If they'd just target California, I'd root for NK.

Either way.... I don't believe the U.S. is prepared and even the pictures cannot offer any reassurance that this is a satellite (like they say it is) or a nuke!

I'd hate to think we could all be dead from something called a Taepo-dong.

Yea, because we have so much to gain by attacking NK.

One to three missiles tipped with nuclear weapons and armed to detonate at a high altitude — to achieve the strongest EMP over the greatest area of the United States — would create an EMP “overlay” that triggers a continent-wide collapse of our entire electrical, transportation, and communications infrastructure

Scary, but true.
Only vehicles WITHOUT computer controls/fuel injection would function.
The classic car guys would still get around if they could get gas out of the underground tanks.
All TV, radio and telephone would be gone

That's bull#### and I'm sure you know that, Mr. Ron Paul Blame America First.

NK wants to invade SK and they cannot do that as long as the US has a military presence there. This, of course, is why we're there in the first place.
