United States might shoot down the North Korean missile in mid air flight to send a message to the N. Koreans. This could be a precurser to all out war!

I for one am so sick of this N. Korean saber rattling.... Any thoughts fellow TF intellectuals?

that's a laugh......you consider yourself an "intellectual?"

WMD!!! WMD!!!! America must declare war on Korea! WMD!! WMD!!

Well as much as you Frankenburner2!

ohhh...the sheer power of your intellect has me shivering in my boots!

no worries about me being an intellectual...i'm quite happy taking pot-shots from the peanut gallery.

I'm sick of Bush acting tough while him and his buddies rip off everyone and I mean everyone..........

You should try to consider the other perspective....If it had been the North Korean threatening America about bombing their nuclear sites, creating a Naval blockade so that no US ship could enter or exit the US without a North Korean sea search....how would you feel?

Add to that, what if the North Korean call the US an evil empire (or Axis of Evil if you like) and then adopts a doctrine of premptive wars....how would you as a US citizen feel?

Do a bit of impartial research and you will find that the only country which has been doing the saber rattling since 2001 (post 9/11) has been the US!!!

The fact is the North Korean are scared to death of a US led invasion (remember Iraq)....that is why they have been fast tracking both their nuclear and missile programme.
