The "loudspeaker" angle has been used for years along the North/South Korean border.

Well- the main justification for the war on Iraq was that Iraq was a threat to the US...
Personally I don't think Iraq was much of a threat- although the world, and Iraq will be a better place without him [Saddam]...
If we justified going to war with Iraq by the fact they were a threat to us- surely that "justifies" action in N.Korea... Infact, by that reasoning, perhaps we should have got N.Korea first.
Will N.Korea be next? They've certainly done more to deserve our wrath than Iraq- but I doubt it'll happen. (although I bet Bush wishes he could go after them)...
First off- N.Korea has nukes... not only do they have nukes- but they have nukes that can reach the West Coast of the US... Would N.Korea use the nuclear weapons? If they felt they were threatened- you better believe they would... I think the top officials there would risk glowing in the dark from American bombs... heck they'ld be dead anyway if the US had their way- why not start a nuke fight... There is a chance the US wouldn't nuke back!
The 2nd reason we won't go after N.Korea is China... China is pissed at us going after Iraq- you better believe China isn't going to let the US have any influence over its neighbours- especially a fellow communist nation. Attacking N.Korea threatens the start of WWIII.
N.Korea won't be attacked directly... Perhaps we'll plan a "Bay Of Pigs" in N.Korea... but that would be the extent of it!
If anyone gets attacked next it will be poor little Iran!

I agree with Wycco. If anything, Iran is next. Their links to Al Qaeda are much more obvious than those of Iraq. And, Iran is ruled by an extrimist muslim government, unlike Iraq which actually has a non-religious government. North Korea and lil Kim is much more dangerous a foe....

America will never attack Korea, they are shit scared of fighting anybody who has an army with real weapons and are capable of fighting back. Look at the record of who they have attacked after the Vietcong beat them so convincingly.
Who will they attack next, Saudi seem favorites, but Libya, Syria, or Iran could be on the list. It all depends on who bush’s paymasters want.

i am sure they will attack NTH korea. US media need ratings, and George dubya will nedd to improve his own ratings on the opinion poll. he just may be the first president? to use war to keep him in the oval office, because it distracts his terrible domestic policy, economic policy.
