The vast majority of our conflicts haven't been instigated as a result of an immediate domestic threat. The Iraq/Afghanistan/Gulf/Vietnam/Korean Wars weren't caused by an attack on our soil. The Spanish-American War was 'officially' (at the time) caused by Spain allegedly blowing up the U.S.S. Maine, but that turned out to actually just be because of a faulty boiler, which made for a convenient excuse to fight over island territory. something something Remember the Maine, to hell with Spain! --- End quote --- 9/11 directly lead to the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Public support behind the wars at the time was overwhelming. Sure the official reason was not 9/11, but people didn't care whether or not they actually were a threat or not. They wanted revenge. On anyone who fit the part. We are backing North Korea into a tiny corner here. The latest UN sanctions affect about a billion dollars of their exports, which is apparently a third of all their export value. This is unsustainable for them. The end game is nearing. Maybe not this year or next, but something new will have to happen besides what's been the status quo for dealing with them since the Korean War. |

And that looks like the best option because north korea is at fault in every death. I know it sucks because dead is dead, but at this point, If they launch that missile we may be forgeted. |
