We are hypocrites, unfortuntaly.

That was my input on the subject.

Propaganda.

Let's face it.... If NK did want to attack us, look what would happen.


They'd maybe blow up 1/10th of 1 state.(Don't we have anti airborne though?)

We could level their entire country before it hit, litterally.




And it's not only a point that they are developing huge bombs only for war, but the fact that it also provides other countries and people with the ability to gain, take, or steal their technology.



I wouldn't be happy hearing there is some guy with a towel on his head sitting on a big bomb. :P

Indeed....

Lets look at the train.

American Public gets pissed about Afghanistan
so the 'administration' decides to invade Iraq.
American Public gets pissed about Iraq
so the 'administration' raves about Iran and the dangers they pose.
The American public doesn't buy it, and realizes what has really happened in Afghanistan in the last 6 years...
Suddenly NK is a huge threat again, so says the administration.

It's all about shifting focus.


Same thing happened when people started realizing the danger of the patriot act - the 'adminsitration' trys to make additional laws to allow DHS almost total control... American Public thinks its iffy... Suddenly there is a plot to blow up airplanes with carryon liquids involving hundereds of flights.
American public is now ok with the laws..

We do have missile defense systems, and I've heard there were successes and failures (under strict conditions) So everything was set on a schedule...

I'd like to see a spontaneous launch of a missile to a safe area, and then call up the Defense agency warning them of the missiles at Location: X,Y. I'd like to know if they could stop it in a high pressure situation.

I'm going to laugh when this is a real attack involving multiple missiles. Right now their test record is 5 of 9 or 6 of 9 successful attempts to intercept the missile. (the articles linked below have conflicting rates) But these are one missile tests under clear conditions so I'd like to know how it'd handle multiple missiles launched from different locations.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4097267.stm - In the article it said the test was delayed because of bad weather at the interceptor locations, so we don't even know if this system can work properly in bad weather. :/

Here was the last test http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/5307498.stm

If you listened to the calls with the agency set up to defend for 9/11, whenever someone picked up the phone and heard the person explain that a plane had been hijacked, etc. The first thing the person at the agency would ask is, "is this a test?". Then the person would say no, this is a real situation and they'd get passed along to the next person where it'd be the same thing over and over.

If we were attacked today with multiple missiles I think our defense system would look like a joke, just put out there as a decoy to make it look like we were well guarded...

But some people will follow through with their plans for what they believe in and death wouldn't be a deterrent for those attackers. Maybe you won't see someone like North Korea do it, but what about terrorist organizations? We can go start more battles but if we nuked their land we'd be killing a ton of innocent people and I don't think that would put us on better ground with the international community.

What pisses me off more is that there are 20 million people in North Korea, most of whom are starving right now.

Down with Kim!
