North korea still slow to need for change as done in today's China,Vietnam,Cambodia,Laos and Eastern europe via their new generation's dynamic economic policy changes.

A question for the conservatives on this board - why doesn't the U.S. just quit playing games and invade North Korea?

Heck, this rogue country is ruled by a tyrannical dictator who is running his country into the ground from his many palaces, not to mention he's got rockets capable of hitting other countries and proven nuclear technology to go with it.

Sarge, if you read this, how about a comment from you?

I’m not one of the conservatives but might I suggest that China has now got the US by the short & curlies?

Because NK has a massive army which could give America a bloody nose and South Korea a lot, lot worse. NK is no Iraq.

Although I do sometimes wonder whether it would be wise to launch an air strike on their nuke reactor. Would NK unleash a suicidal Korean War II for the sake of one reactor? (PS Am not one of the conservatives either by the way, so I guess we're still awaiting the answer from the originally intended posters!)

Starting off with an unprovoked attack, eh?

Probably for the same reason the US hasn't invaded the other 200+ countries in the world. I know your question is created by your anger at Iraq, but the fundamentals of the situation don't change. Overall North Korea is difficult to attack because there are consequences for surrounding countries. They'll level Seoul, and then China will have to deal with people fleeing across the border. Honestly, I think if those two things weren't a reality, then KJI would be dead by now, and I can't say I'd be against that to any real extent. You'd probably agree.

Cut off all food, energy and monetary aid to NK.

Prediction: With an unchecked NK nuclear program they will continue to refind their nuclear arms, Iran will develop a sophisticated N weapon and with the extremely unstable, nuclear armed Pakistan, a small nuke will find it's way into terrorist hands and be detonated in a U.S. port having been transported in on a cargo vessel. Although a ground blast is not the most efficient for nukes, the fall out will cause mass panic. This will happen within 2 years. I hope I'm wrong!!

Superlib - "Starting off with an unprovoked attack, eh?"

Ha ha, that made me chuckle and wonder why "A question for the conservatives on this board" could in any way be construed as an "unprovoked attack."

I'm glad you were only joking. :-)

It's sad that NKorea has 100% control over this situation, and no one else can do a darn thing.
smithinjapan at 06:28 PM JST - 15th April

Thanks to all the bombast of many nations, and Japan and SKorea in particular, and the fact that it all fell flat when China said there would be no reprimand, it's going to take at least TRIPLE the initial aid levels promised (before they were reneged on) to get NK back to the table this time.

where are the anti-nuke protesters?
