Then we can lower it to a month once he admits he made a mistake.

Eh, it's not so much that people are afraid that places like North Korea and Iran will actually use the nukes, it's more about the level of power that comes with them. Nukes are a status symbol, a bargining chip that says "hey, you can't ignore me" for a country. If Iran and North Korea develop nukes, they can't be brushed aside any more, they have to be taken seriously. Not too many over in the US like that idea.

you are so fucking blind that its amazing...

maybe people fear that those countries will have nuclear weapon because they have dictatorship\theocracy\tyranny goverment and not a Democracy one? such a goverment that can do whatever they want not caring even about what the people in their own country think? like japan and germany in WW2 for example?

amazing that even after two world wars people are still so naive, and it was only 60 years ago.

and btw, iran said many times that israel should be destroied. a very peaceful country develope nulcear, we shouldnt worry at all right?

Kim Jong-Il isn't crazy... he's quite rational in fact, and basically every world leader or diplomat who's ever visited him has said that.

I'm totally there with you. I mean, he needed a movie made about him, so he kidnapped a director. The food on the train sucked, so he kidnapped and then flew in a chef who he knew to be talented. The 300 story tower building project ran out of money, so rather than let the citizens beleive him to be incompetant, he did the logical thing and made it illegal to be made reference to.

Might have been here or another forum, but I believe I read that Japan could supposedly have a nuke ready in 48 hours if need-be.

Whoever you heard that from is completely wrong. It would take Japan roughly 164 days to arm a nuclear arsenal.

fun quiz time:

1. list the only country that has ever used a nuclear weapon in a time of war.

2. list the only country that has ever willfully used said weapon on not one, but two major cities, withholding that decision from its people, thereby ignoring them and doing whatever the head of state had wanted.

3. please state the political system (socialist, democratic, fascist, etc) of aforementioned country.

jerome
how many people died in europe in the world war 2? did they used atomic bomb to do so?

you might see it as it was aweful deed, and it was! but seriously, it could be nuclear or could be another few years of death toll for both sides...

USA could bomb near cities just to make them surrender, who knows if they would?
its history... lets not enter this.

A strong earthquake in northern Japan on Wednesday may have led the Tokyo government to suspect that
North Korea had conducted a second nuclear test.

In Washington, White House spokesman Blair Jones said U.S. officials had not detected any evidence of additional North Korea testing.

"Japanese officials are now saying that this occurrence may be related to an earthquake in northern Japan," Jones said.

The reaction to the earthquake underscored the jitters in Asia over reports that North Korea planned a second test after it announced Monday it had conducted its first nuclear test. Some analysts expect the regime to conduct more tests amid suspicion the first, relatively small explosion might have partially failed.
