What about poor Afghans and Iraqi people? Think about a family who’s only provider is out for earning something to eat for whole family and then in the evening he comes in pieces. You have not seen children with halves of there bodies torn apart. You have not seen ladies… leave it man. I have personally seen these people in Afghan refugee camps and they live a worst life than an American can think

What I hear you saying is that the conditions of Afghans and Iraqi people are already sufficient justification for North Korea to launch a missile at the USA. Is that actually what you intended to say?

NO!
I meant US herself is making enemies whereas she was supposed to make friends with the same money, or far lesser than that, she is spending on making enemies.

Obama is mainly change of face no or avoidable change in policies. This of course won't help US.

Ah, so you were making a new comment independent of my question as to what the US should do if attacked. Gotcha.

Just leaving a note.
How many times US has asked for suggestions before invading any conuntry? Or how many suggestions she has taken into consideration? :X

Actually, outside of Iraq I can't think of a time when the US acted unilaterally. Either we were ourselves attacked (or felt the threat of imminent attack), we were invited in/requested to come to someone's aid, or we did so in cooperation/consultation with other countries. That's not to say that we have always been in the right, but I would rather have our record than that of most other nations. Certainly it is preferable to that of North Korea -- which is the focus here, why do you so strongly want to switch it to the US?

 

[Tilmeez]

why do you so strongly want to switch it to the US?

I don't have a reason or can't express it in right way. I have been very active in my university days for Afghanistan, especially.

Watching blood on TV or in picture is something very else than watching it actually all around you.
I am a top class hunter and I hunt every thing from birds to rabbits and pigs (not for eating but for the reason they distroy our crops) but their blood never made me feel anything etc but watching human blood and standing to it is most difficult thing.

I love my daughters and I understand their feeling about me - their dad. Millions of Afghan girls have not seen their dads even in pictures :'(. What is use of such a life.

Some 9 months back my dad died I miss him as my father but I badly miss him as grandfather of my daughters.

do i sound load and clear? I can continue with hundred of such things which are my own experience.

I will try not posting on this thread. This hurts me, beleive you me! :"(

Tilmeez, it is good to tell your story. Often I find that it is the personal stories, not the overarching ones seen on the news, but those that involve individuals that help us to connect with how national politics impact daily human life. May your daughters have their father till you reach a ripe old age.

So, there seems to be agreement that North Korea is posturing and not going to wipe the USA off the map. But what should the USA do if North Korea does actually launch a missile at the USA (or anyone else for that matter)? I'm curious what the non-Americans here think would be an appropriate response?

Tit for tat. My response would be even more disastrous. Our nuclear weapons are supposed to be deterrents but the nuclear weapons would be launched against any country that fires a nuke to any of our lands without a doubt. Whoever starts it is thick as pig turd. You do not mess with a technologically advanced country that has enough ammo to wipe out their country again, again, again, again....

I doubt that NK would launch any nukes against the USA. Their missle program does not seem to have the Quantity needed nor the Accuracy and range to do any significant damage.

However, I would not put it past them to launch them against Indonesia, Malaysia, South Korea or Japan and then shout they will continue the attacks until those countries join in the attack against the USA.

OK. That's one point of view. I appreciate you taking the time to respond. Are there other non-Americans who might care to also respond, please:

If North Korea were to attack your country, what would you want your country to do?

I would firstly like to state, America and North Korea both should need to settle down and negotiate. Both sides need to come up with an agreement. We have enough bloodshed as it is. We do not need another war.

If North Korea were to attack America first, then America has every right to defend itself.

Actually, wipe the U.S. off the map is easy. Just print a new map without U.S.
But wipe the U.S. off the earth is nearly impossible. North Korea has not enough nuclear misile for attack U.S. I think Kim Jong Il must sleep again and countinue his dream.

However, I would not put it past them to launch them against Indonesia, Malaysia, South Korea or Japan and then shout they will continue the attacks until those countries join in the attack against the USA.

What is launch them ? launch nuclear misile ?.
North Korea has no reason for attack Indonesia. Indonesia is not their enemy.
Maybe tomorow I must ask some Indonesian singer, artists and parliament member. What was their experience when they visited North Korea ?.

why would anyone want to attack indonesia and malaysia, they hardly ever make problems for other countries.

Evidence for these claims?
