does anyone else think Dubya will soon send troops to N. Korea, causing another WW?

The US 2nd Infantry Division is already there, along with lesser size brigade units.   So, you're too late to ask if GB will be sending troops there.  The tactical nukes in the bullpen in SLMBs and nearby air bases will be enough to counter any pre-emptive strike by NorKor.  \n\nWill we make a pre-emptive strike, i doubt it, but you never know.

Yes and I think it will happen soon because of Bush mate.

The next big one will start with nukes going off at the same time in Tel Aviv, NY, DC, and London. \n\nThat will be from Iran's Hamas, next will be freighters in all of the US shipping ports having nukes in lead shielded boxes in the fuel oil tanks of merchant ships. \n\nThat will effectively take the US completely out of it in the first 30mins of WW3 \n\nNow after that North Korea will take South Korea and China will take Japan and as much of Russia as possible. \n\nEurope will wisely sue for peace with China as the new World Super power. After things calm down a bit negotiations between the EU and China will take place. The former US will be divided up between the two based upon the premise that France will not nuke what is left. \n\nDuring these negotiations the EU and China will also plan a lightning take over of the middle east which will also be divided up between the two powers. \n\nWhen all is said and done there will be peace and technological progress unheard of before.

You know, this is a bit of a frustration point for me.  As a country, we should have addressed NK before now, it should have begun when NK launched their first ballistic missile back in 98 or 99 under Clinton's administration, but Bush Jr didn't do near enough to stem their atomic ambitions.  We are in a bind now due to the inaction of our leaders, and for the leaders of the rest of the world.  We've given them a bone to bargain with.  Maybe I'm naive, but I really think that's what they want, is bargaining chips.  They aren't stupid, they know the wrath and the whirlwind if they launched a nuclear strike against the US...  I don't think they would, but I can certainly see them wanting the threat to be ABLE to do so, and the bargaining power that it would bring to the table.  I think that military action against NK will not be necessary, and I think the US and other western cultures will have to pay to remove the threat, with economic aid, trade agreements, and diplomacy.

I think it just might be possible someday. \nI think it's pass time for George Bush to put an end to this war and bring our boys and girls home, what we have left of them anyway.

Not in my lifetime.  As long as the USN controls the seas, it won't happen.  Remember, the German army couldn't even get across the English Channel in WWII, and the Chinese Army certainly isn't going to cross the Pacific anytime soon.  Heck, their navy currently isn't capable of extended blue-water operations, much less supporting an amphibious assault all the way across the Pacific.

Absolutely not going to happen.  We've signed treaties left and right saying we won't use nuclear force.  The US has absolutely bent the rules when it comes to foreign relations but they absolutely would not completely abandon them.  With that being said, I predict a high probability of them using force OTHER than nuclear force...

Yes if they continue with what they are doing and produce a bomb then it will be a World War but a very short one. With every nuclear nation hitting them at the same time. They will end up being a glowing hole in the ground.

Writing a book, hmmmm....Look people the next big one will start with nukes going off at the same time in Tel Aviv, NY, DC, and London. \n\nThat will be from Iran's Hamas, next will be freighters in all of the US shipping ports having nukes in lead shielded boxes in the fuel oil tanks of merchant ships.

Sticking your head in the sand an ignoring lessons from history about the threats our country can and have faced is the policy of an idiot. Even the USA could become the enemy of the UK in the future when natural resources become worth fighting for. The 21st century has along way to go and it is more than likely that a global war will occur again. No doubt caused by a lack of water and natural resources. I woulld much rather our country did not have to give in to the USA, China or Russia when the fighting does actually begin. And only an idiot would be happy to allow a country like North Korea to have access to Nuclear weapons. They have a stated policy of wanting to overthrow the South Korean regime using any means possible.

With North Korea...who knows.  They often say one thing and do another!!

The answer in one word:\nNO!!!!\n\nThe answer in many words:\nHELL NO!!! Because the number of troops for the military are streched so thin, its unblievable!! The US will not attack North Korea, because they have been spending too much time on Iran. And they can't do anything about Iran, because Iran has the backing of Russia, China, and India on the political front and the Hamas who is now in control of Palestine along  with the hezbolla militants will start hundreds of terror attacks. Now in Iraq, the Shi'ie muslim party is in power and they will soon become a major allie of Iran and so the US will be even more busy in Iraq. Iran will not be like Iraq that was invaded in a week, it won't be invaded, and hence we will have another Vietnam on our hands. And lastly , If the US even makes a threat to attack Iran, the oil supply from the second largest distributor of oil in the world will be cut off and hence the already high oil prices will triple, causing mayham!!! Does that answer your question? If it does, vote mine as the best answer so I can get 10 points.

Do you talk about Matwees or Samurl Huntington's "clash of civilizations"?\nAs it looks it is inevitable. Just hope it will go easy on the world, because Bush looks serious about taking up a war.

No, I don't think we will. The 8th Army trains there, and besides, North Korea is a major trouble spot. War could break out at any minute, and the South Korean armed forces would have a difficult time dealing with the North Koreans, who have the world's fourth largest army. We have the third. \n\nHowever, i think the amount of troops will be reduced, and the troops have already been pulled back past the 38th parallel, because military strategy dictates that an attack would cost us much of the 8th army, and it would be 1950 all over again.

No; we'd only get hit in return by China.  Instead, since China, Japan, Russia, and a couple of other nations have gotten involved in all this, I think it's best to let the powers in that part of the world have a turn at seeing if they can keep North Korea under control before we go storming in to do ANYTHING.

At the current time we do not have enough troops to attack anyone else.  North Korea has one of the largest armies in the world, never mind that if we attacked them China might get involved and join the war against us.  And if you think the war in Iraq is bad a war with North Korea could easily cost us 1000 soldiers every 2 weeks or so instead of every year

He will probably go after Iran next. I hope not but he is starting a war of words as we speak.
