What to do about North Korea...?
Recently, Morgans posted:
"Neil Gould" wrote As I see it, it's a good thing NK doesn't have any oil. And with this statement, it shows how little you truly understand the whole issue. Oh? The on-topic response to "the issue" is covered by what you deleted. Amazing. Truly amazing. What's truly amazing is that you chose to respond to the joke and ignored the basic points. Neil |

Irrelevant. I wasn't asking about Kim Jong Il; I asked what *you* would do. time for a reality check. Indeed. For starters, it would be a good idea to know approximately how wide the Pacific Ocean is. Then compare that figure with the experts' opinions of the range of the Taepodong-2 missile sans payload (which though it has never been successfully flown, its "range" has been somehow increased about 3x from their original statements). Then try to reconcile the completely irresponsible claims being made about it being able to deliver a nuclear weapon that could reach the lower 48 states. You're being had yet again. Neil |

Rationale sane people are not in charge of the nk government. but I, for one, wouldn't bother trying to **** off the USA. I wouldn't **** away government funds on a worthless military weapon systems when millions of my citizens are starving. time for a reality check. Indeed. For starters, it would be a good idea to know approximately how wide the Pacific Ocean is. perhaps you should learn something about missiles, in particular the flight path for something between nk and the USA. -- Bob Noel Looking for a sig the lawyers will hate |

I wouldn't **** away government funds on a worthless military weapon systems when millions of my citizens are starving. I see; so you'd cozy up to the folks who think you're part of an "Axis of Evil", and prefer that the popuce run around anxious that the US is going to attack you next while they starve anyway. Hmm. Is that the rational and sane approach? perhaps you should learn something about missiles, in particular the flight path for something between nk and the USA. That isn't a matter of "missiles"; it's navigation of a geoid, and *still* doesn't extend the range of their missle sufficiently to reach "...the lower 48 states" as claimed. Perhaps you don't know where Korea is? Neil |

Truly amazing This whole discussion is a bunch of horse-****. The NKs missles pose no threat to the US. The FARs PROHIBIT these things from flying in our airspace. No need for drastic action, like having Boyer "take on" the NKs.... |

As I see it, it's a good thing NK doesn't have any oil. Bogus in your mind, maybe. I don't agree with the decision to invade Iraq, but I DO believe they had WMD and were trying to make more. I think there was some reason to invade, but I'm not sure how urgent things were. I will, however, give Bush and company the benefit of the doubt in that they may have known things that can't be made public. As to your NK question, I certainly wouldn't respond by trying to bait the US into a conflict? If that is what they are really worried about, why all of the provocation? They aren't worried at all about invading us. They need financial help and are trying to become a big enough pain that we'll pay them off. This might have happened with Clinton in office, but isn't likely with Bush. Matt |

Exactly my response when I read the initial paragraph. |
