"Looks like its North Korea next....."

Has the world gone mad?!?!

From Yahoo News:

SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea may strike U.S. forces pre-emptively rather than wait for an American attack after a war with Iraq, a spokesman for the communist state has told the Guardian newspaper in Pyongyang.


"The United States says that after Iraq, we are next", the Guardian website quoted Ri Pyong-gap, a North Korean Foreign Ministry deputy director, as saying on Wednesday amid rising tensions over a nuclear crisis on the Korean peninsula.


"But we have our own countermeasures. Pre-emptive attacks are not the exclusive right of the U.S," said Ri, according to the Guardian website. His reported remarks went further than numerous recent dire warnings issued by Pyongyang's state media.


A Guardian correspondent, one of several British journalists admitted to secretive North Korea this month, quoted Ri as saying that the current nuclear stand-off was more dangerous than that a decade ago when Washington and Pyongyang nearly went to war.


"The present situation can be called graver than it was in 1993. It will be touch and go," the daily quoted Ri as saying.

Great, the world has gone mad. Just what we need.

I wouldnt worry that much, Korea is of absolutely no interest to the UN or the U.S. as it has little resources to plunder or interaction with terrorists. Oh I hear the point about the missiles found on a boat? well Britain and the US deal in more arms shipments than any other country so one shipment shouldnt bother anyone as we've stocked entire coutries and then had them used against our own troops.

Basically Korea is a self inflicted exile politically with few supporting countries. They also talk a good game and any pre-emtive strike on there part would be futile and down rite suicidal for there leaders who are primarily in the business of trying to keep power.

If the US were that bothered they would be trying to get across the boarder this minute instead of going after a more or less subjugated country like Iraq. North korea would be a mad target to chase after and america have fought far to many wars in this area of the world and know better.

Korea is an unstable country politically but it wont instigate a war that will drag in the UN

I just spat out coffe through my nose when I read that! Superb work!

Erm, everyone here is looking at me in undisguised anger with a tinge of repulsion.

Slim chances of that then. There will probably be a secular group in a long lost tribe somewhere that survives...

I'm going to try and meld my DNA with that of a cockroach; they'll survive the anhilation.

I'll call myself c***-boy as I try and re-seed the planet.

So much for the nuclear deterrent. Maybe we need an all out war to teach us that nukes are bad.

Of course, in order to learn from such a lesson, we must first survive it.

To be fair, Goatboy, if we did have a nuclear weapon hit England, you better hope that you're very close by rather than suffering the after-effects of radiation and dying in a foul and repulsive manner akin to leperousy in its' most advanced stages. That way, you'll be dead before you know it.


Or, you could hope that you're miles away from it.

*fingers crossed*

Please please please let this end with globol thermonuclear war.

Good. Someone ought to show the U.S. that they're not the only nation in the world AND that the world doesn't revolve around them. Good luck to North Korea, I say. If the US have WMD's including nuclear weapons, why shouldn't any other nation be refrained from producing them?

Anyone want to watch Wargames?

Pre-emptive attacks? I thought all wars had to be booked with the opposition these days to avoid clashes with other wars or major events.
