Free Pyongyang! Unite Korea!

We need to go over there and finish them once and for all. I bet they have oil and don't even know it.

I blame Rodman. I bet he convinced Kimmette victory would be a "slam dunk"! (Sorry for stealing your marketing line, Republicans).

I'll bet if you used the Googles you could figure out why, Copernicus.

For the most part Diablo.

BUt if Kim really wants to fight a hot war against the world he may have set a record for the race from sane to drunk on power.

How old is he, like 12? He probably thinks he simply hacked into WOPER and is playing "Global Thermal Nuclear War" instead of a nice game of Tic-Tac-Toe

Why talk about it?...it's easy to nullify the armistice agreement...just start shooting again.

Should be a cake walk for lil Kim to stroll across the border.

I am sure the South Koreans will welcome them with chocolates and flowers.

Don't even joke about it, we have Neocon lunatics who would happily send young Americans over there to fight another very profitable war. Haliburton stands ready.

This comes from the reality that the PRK is lagging further and further behind the south, economically, militarily and culturally. Communism is an abject failure built on lies and maintained by terror. North Korea must maintain a state of war to keep control of a impoverished and hungry population. Remember George Orwell's credo "War is Peace". The sad fact is that they believe their own propaganda. The power elite of that country live in one city, I doubt their command and control would last more than an a hour after they launch an attack on the US. The US still maintain and operates around 30 boomers- each holding over 50 bombs that can level a city. The only bright spot in this sad mess is that their weapons only work about half the time, ours are tried and proven. Not a situation that enhances a lot of confidence, at least to a sane individual. There is the rub.
