part of the country was, not the government... but on the North Korean matter... if they piss off the US... South Korean Marines go attack... maybe japan may help by using bombing runs and my math tutor here in taiwan(hes from florida) will join the Army (Military Police) again. but i doubt US will do sumthing to NK soon
are you saying part of Iraq was communicating with terrorists, but NOT Sadam Hussein?
I posted on another thread that I don't think NK is a threat because they don't seem to be suicidal. They know any attacks they make will mean their own destruction. The Middle East on the other hand, is insane and have no fear of dying ( basically, because they have n oreason to live ) and no fear of taking as many infidels as they can, with them. They think life doesn't start until you reach Mecca with their 70 virgins or what ever the hell it is.
This is only my perseption and I have no "wikipedia" articles to back it up. lol. But would you agree??
actually, I wouldn't. there are lots of middle eastern countries that are peaceful towards western nations ( the US calls a lot of them their allies, if I remember correctly ). Labelling a minority as madmen doesn't get us anywhere.
None of the middle eastern nation has the military potential to even touch one of the western countries, let alone conduct a successful military campaign. That was true for Iraq and is true for Iran.
The only reason to attack Iran now is to try to prevent them from getting nukes. Once they have nukes, the whole strategic picture would change dramatically, because no one knows where a military campaign against a nuclear power would end up. It just hasn't happened yet, and my guess would be that the US and Israel will go to great lengths to prevent it from happening.
Bottom line is, if Iran managed to develop nukes, the US would not be able to function as the hegemonial superpower in the middle eastern region any more.
