I must be missing something here, but when a regime such as Iran says publicly that Israel should be wiped off the face of the earth, that in itself is an act of aggression and ultimately and act of war, let alone at least a propaganda stunt that would any western country cringe. I hate war and I loathe aggression, but Israel is in the middle of a hotbed of nutty places filled with even nuttier lunatics. They have every right to pinpoint where the Iranian facilities are and take them out, this in itself is a step toward keeping the peace in the middle east, even if it means having many countries, western ones too, attacking such a move.

North Korea, on the other hand, may be filled with starving communists, but I think if the rice should hit the fan out there then I think big old bad China will step in and take the reigns. Which in itself, is a lot scarier than any "I'm so ronery" North Korean buffoon with a loony hairdo.

How is this any different than the reason we went into Iraq? We were deceived then with false presumptions of WMD's, and now people are falling for the same shit, again.

If Israel feels the need to do so then fine, but the U.S. shouldn't be involved because, as seen again and again, we only make shit worse. War should never be a solution to stopping war,

Again people miss the point that the most belligerent nation in the Middle East already has an arsenal of over 300 nuclear weapons...but they're the ones who claim Iran, who havnt attacked anyone in over 250 years, are a threat because they're developing nuclear power (not unusual considering their HUGE uranium reserves).

Koolaid+Continuing Holocaust Guilt = Current American Middle East Policy.

If one nation has the right to develop nuclear technology, then others do too.

It didnt take long for us to get screwed on the latest NK deal.

They promise actions to us in return for financial incentives and goodies. Then they do whatever the fuck they want to.

This has been going on for decades and we keep acting like complete fools.
Let them fire away. It's like a drunk shooting off a gun while alone in a small concrete room.

Exactly. Why is it our problem to feed our "enemies"? Why do we feel the need to kiss the asses of tyrants and lunatics? You are either with us or against us. If you are not with us, then FUCK OFF! We have enough problems in our own backyard!

It's called Protecting the Empire, Globalization and Foreign Aid. We subject ourselves to NK extortion to protect SK and Japan.

Agreed but I think it should be North Koreas problem although I have no problem with China blowing their money and aiding North Korea if that is their want.

Newsflash, North Korea already has ICBM capability, if you can put something into orbit or at least reach that high you have ICBM capability.

Also are you really so butt-hurt if they put a satellite in orbit? How many US satellites are taking up space there already? Again, obvious double standards are obvious.

Do you even read my posts?

Let me make it really fucking simple for you....

We are borrowing money from China to buy food to give to the North Koreans for some promise they are already in the process of breaking.

If we didnt supply the food the people would migrate to china and it would be china's problem.

I DONT CARE WHAT THEY SHOOT OFF!!! CUT THEM OFF FROM ALL AID AND LET IT BE CHINA'S PROBLEM!

Let me make it really fucking simple for you (I know you're a Republican, so I'll use smaller words)...North Korea isn't breaking any deal with the US, they want to launch a satellite, boo hoo, deal with it.

Foreign Aid is wasted dollars anyways, so cut it off, simple.

You said cut off aid to Korea cos they're developing ICBM technology, I said they have it already thus are not breaking any deal but foreign aid is a waste of money anyways...you wouldn't cut off certain westernised Middle Eastern countries tho, would you NLX? I say cut em all off.

Well I guess we agree but for different reasons...you'd be more Tea Party than Republican then, no?

What about the big I, you'd leave them to fend for themselves?

I would identify more as a libertarian but I am registered as an independent.

Big I?
