North Korea: why bother with a test?

North Korea is capable of hitting the United States with a missile.

This could become Cold War II. I just don't know if KDR has the political pull that the Soviets had, so if Kim Jong-Il thinks he can hold whatever part of the continental US he can hit from North Korea hostage, he might want to rethink his strategy.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Don't forget the idea of Communist-unity (Community? ); China probably wouldn't be pleased with the USA counter-attacking NK.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The only card these countries hold is that they have nuclear weapons, which means that in order to truly be effective, they'll have to basically commit suicide, because I want you all to just realistically think of just what would be the American reaction if a nuclear weapon from a foreign power went off in any American city or took out a carrier battle group.

Americans from coast to coast would be screaming for blood. You saw the kind of leeway we gave Bush for the deaths of 3,000 people. Just imagine the kind of havoc we would wreak if we lost hundreds of thousands of people.

People said the beast was unleashed with 9/11, but realistically, we just been playing around, intentionally handcuffing ourselves. If someone pops off with that nuclear shit, America is going to obliterate whoever is responsible.

Yes, yes...the ethical ramifications of nuclear warfare go out the window if Americans die!

Just like being in a relationship with someone and you KNOW sex is going happen eventually, you might as well just stop talking about it, do it and get it over with.

I guess we won't know how effective it is until it needs to be used.
