North Korea Nukes and the Democrats?

Absolutely, it did offer incentives to N.Korea for not building it's own nuclear facility.  I don't have the original shopping list that N.Korea asked for, but one item we agreed to was a nuclear plant for the purpose of nuclear power for the country. \n\nThe US agreed to build a nuclear power plant, at it's expense, for the purpose of producing nuclear energy for N.Korea. However, N.Korea reneged on the deal by going ahead and developing a nuclear program, sifter they agreed not to build it.\n\nThe new breed of democrats think the US should try and develop dialog with the N.Korean government, even though we know they lie, they produce counterfeit US money, they kidnap citizens of other country's, they starve their own people and spend every available dollar on military spending.  This is not an honorable adversary, but we sure do have some pretty naive democrats.

They are bitter. And the Dems saw a political opportunity to attack the President after 9/11 (SHAMEFUL!!!) and ran with it. You know what happens when you roll a snowball down a mountain, right?

North Korea is in nuclear weapons development, and the USA still sends them food. I'm serious. \n\nNorth Korea believes the USA won't stay out of its business, and feels having nukes will finally get the USA to have direct talks with them.\n\nThe USA should have talks with them, and use diplomacy to solve this crisis. War with a nuke North Korea would be devastating the the USA and it's Pacific allies.

The Democrats, prior to Reagan and all the monsters he spawned, were always the party of National Defense.  That is, when conflict is unavoidable.  Democrats are reasonable.  We don't shoot off our mouths like street punks and invade other countries in wars of aggression or thinly disguised coups for more oil.  What the Republicans have done in the past 6 years, has set this nation back 20 years, but after we clean up their mess, yes, we'll be a lot safer.

planksheer - Are you friggin' insane? We did not threaten North Korea first. North Korea INVADED South Korea. North Korea had 1,000,000 men on the DMZ alone ready to invade again at a moment's notice. And, in case you hadn't noticed, Kim Jong Il's government NEEDS to be toppled. They are in the middle of a famine that has lasted for years, and what do you think Kim's response is? "Screw the people, give all the food and money to the Army!" Tens and hundreds of thousand of North Koreans have starved to death so Kim can have pretty little parades in Pyongyang.\n\nWhat North Korea is doing is called saber rattling. It was first effective, at least where nukes are concerned, during Bill Clinton's presidency. North Korea threatened to develop nukes. Bill Clinton's response? "Give 'em tons of rice. And, oh yeah! Here's a really good idea ... Let's give 'em a couple of nuclear reactors! Ummm, for energy, I mean." Why WOULDN'T they saber rattle now? It worked beyond their wildest dreams the first time.

Nobody at all should have nukes. How can the US and other nuclear powers yell at these upstarts that want the same nuclear weaponry that the current nuclear powers have access to?\n\nIt's like a parent telling his kids not to smoke while puffing away on a cigarette.

No.  Read about a trip to N. Korea by a group of Americans a couple of years ago.\n\nhttp://1stopkorea.com/index.htm?nk-trip1.htm~mainframe

Yes. \n\n  The Iranians have expressed, financed and conspired in hostile acts against use for 25 years.\n\n  When they get a nuke, they will use it on us.  \n\n  Only the stupidest people would allow a sworn enemy to openly build better weapons unmolested.\n\n  Incidently, the same is applicable to North Korea.

We still are at war with N.Korea. No peace treaty was ever signed and ratified. It has be the longest cease fire in history. People still get killed along the D.M.Z.between the 2 Korea's.

Yes. Period. \nWhy don't we attack North Korea? Because they don't have it? Why don't we overthrow Kuwait's emir, and install democracy? because they have oil.

I do not understand from your lecture, what mistake it is we made since 2002. Defending a country & helping them hold their first democratic election is that the mistake you see. I guess we should send more missiles to North Korea so we can be friends. Oh yeah, they do not want to be friends, they want to be our dictator. Is that the idea that you had? I do not think you are obedient enough for a dictator, but if you think it is best. Our dollar will be won unc then.

If they do have nuclear weapons the answer is North Korea. They seem the most willing to use them.

Yes definitely. In 1998 N. Korea lunched a missile right over Japan in an attempt to diplomatically threaten/pressure western nations and Japan into giving N. Korea aide. Currently the communist N. Korean government is a world leader at producing fake American currency in order to help prop up its struggling Stalinist regime. N. Korea would lunch a missile again and in the past nine years since their last attempt they may very well of improved their ICBM technology to the point where it poises a real threat to the USA.

It should be "ARE Osama and the Chinese using YAHOO Answers?" And North Korea is not Chinese...it is Korean. \n\nAnd I highly doubt it. I just can't see Osama or Kim using yahoo or googling on how to build a nuke. See...the reason they tend to be successful in their terroist actions is that they have more of a scope than internet search engines. \n\nAnyone who would be privy to imporant information such as how to build a nuke or the location of secret army bases should hopefully be smart enough to realize that they shouldn't divulge such information on public forums. And they probably have something better to do than spread state secrets on Yahoo.

No. It could seem that way because of Truman's policy of communist containment. Actually Kim Il Sung song-and-danced Uncle Joe Stalin into believing that an invasion of South Korea from the north would be a pushover, and only take a couple of months to prosecute. He also convinced Stalin that the USA would not retaliate to save South Korea.

I think the the Israeli Government is scared to death that the Democrats are taking over in the US, and that will lead to less support for them. Israel is a very small island in a sea of nations that want it destroyed and will stop at nothing to accomplish their goals. The Democrats are scaring me in this same regard.\n\nLet's not forget that Israel has nukes. We don't know how many and where they have them, but they do. They also have f_15 eagles to deliver them. If Iran develops a nuke, they will either use it themselves or give it to Hezbollah to deliver in a van or something, and if they set one off in Israel, Isreal will retaliate.\n\nIsrael knows that they can't hit a ghost so they will nuke Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and who knows how many others. The major portion of the world's oil supply will evaporate. Russia and China will respons, and some of their weapons will also be aimed at the USA. We would be forced to respond with nukes of our own, and we have a load of them. On top of that, the debris from the explosions will throw so much dust in the air that it would almost certainly create a nuclear winter that will destroy most of the plant and animal life on the planet. That will be the end of us all.\n\nThat's why I can't vote for a Democrat.

They are not semi-democratic, idiot ^^^...they run a democracy just like the USA.\n\nThe Korean War, from June 25, 1950 to cease-fire on July 27, 1953 (the war has not officially ended), was a civil war between North Korea and South Korea. When conflicts began, North and South Korea existed as provisional governments competing for control over the Korean peninsula due to the Division of Korea. The Cold War-era conflict was a proxy war between the United States and its allies and the communist powers of the People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Soviet Union. The principal combatants were North Korea, supported by People's Volunteer Army (PVA) of the People's Republic of China, and later Soviet combat advisors, aircraft pilots, and weapons; and South Korea, supported principally by the United States (U.S.), the United Kingdom (UK), Canada and the Philippines, although many other nations sent troops under the aegis of the United Nations (UN).\n\nIn South Korea, it is often called "6·25" (the date of the start of the conflict), or, more formally, Hanguk Jeonjaeng (한국전쟁). In North Korea it is formally called the "Fatherland Liberation War." In the United States, the conflict was termed a police action, as the Korean Conflict, under the aegis of the United Nations rather than a war, largely in order to remove the necessity of a Congressional declaration of war. The war is sometimes referred to in the West as "The Forgotten War," primarily because it is a major conflict in the 20th century that is rarely referred to in everyday life.\n\nTherefore, Korea split into two: one being communist, the other leading a democracy. North Korea won't allow South Koreans much less anybody inside their country.
