You don't think the U.S state controls the press? Read 'Manufacturing consent' Noam Chomsky. The most advanced propaganda system in the world is the American propaganda system. Propaganda is to a democracy what violence is to a dictatorship.

As I said, I do not have the media here up on some super-high pedestal. But they are worlds away from North Korea, where the media and government are essentially one and the same. Do you think stories about things such as NSA wiretapping and tracking of financial records, to name a couple, would ever get published over there? Do you think a president's personal indiscretions (i.e. Clinton) would ever see the light of day? Of course not. I could go on and on. American media isn't perfect, but you've got to have some perspective. Whatever undue influence our government or corporate world may have on the media, there is no comparison to the "print/don't print this or we'll kill you" environment of North Korea.

North Korea is a major threat to their neighboring countires, but how are they a direct threat to the US? A nuclear bomb isn't going to get here, well, unless 5,000 North Koreans pick up a bomb and throw it as us.

Iran hates us and wants to kill us too. For 25 years, they have been shouting "Death to America" every Friday after prayers :rolleyes:

How do you know a missle or whatever can get here????? Thats a very dumb thing to say. I hope you are right. They could prove you wrong????????

Thank you. I dont like war but if your going to pick a fight then pick a fight with a real threat to the world and life in general.

I am. I am constantly venting spleen against my corrupt government of liars and murderers, aswell as the U.S government, who are the biggest threat to peace on this earth today. People's memories are too short. Remember....our governments lied to us about Iraq having weapons of mass destruction and being a threat to us. It was merely a way of illegally seizing their natural resources. When your government told you that Nicaragua was a threat to America did you believe them? Are you aware of the fact that America is the only country to have ever been accused of state terrorism by the U.N security council and the world court. Typically, the U.S government chose not recocgnise the authority of the world court or the U.N and so vetoed their resolution, just as they have singularly vetoed every single U.N resolution over the past 35 years condemning Israel. I could go on, and on, and on, but I'm bored already. Suffice it to say: do your fucking homework! No offence!

In that case, our troops should be safe at home training and relaxing, because Iraq and North Korea are certainly not the threats they have been made out to be by the administration.

Ed was right about the GOP's base having blinders on.

A Surprise Left

So North Korea have the funds for nuclear weapons yet they can't feed their own people? They have also kidnapped many South Korean and Japanese citizens. I'll leave ya with some wisdom from Matt Damon from Team America....."Alec Baldwin".

I think all of it's scary.
People have become so trigger happy and pissed off in this world, you never know who's going to think you're looking at them wrong, talking about them, or watching them (not only in other countries and the government, but even in the streets!) It's crazy! I'm soooo sick of hearing other countries threaten us. Why don't we come up with a new strategy:
Shut up! Sit down! and Mind your own damn business!
and if that doesn't work, why don't we stop talking shit and show the world what we mean by "consequences"....
I don't know, I guess that's just me.....UGH!!!!! Now I'm frustrated! I'm going to clean my house now!

So the U.S hasn't threatened Iran or North Korea then? Yes they have. And what do those threats entail? Nuclear war. If your gonna attack a country that has nuclear weapons then you will attack them using nuclear weapons. I suppose your one of the mugs who believed Iraq was a threat to the security of America?
Again the above article reads "...would respond to a pre-emptive military attack". Where do you think that sentiment arose? From out of a vaccuum? I suggest you think before spouting shit.

You suppose a lot ... And your suppositions are inaccurate.

I can actually agree with this ... North Korea obviously hasn't been deemed a sufficient threat to deploy military force. Diplomacy has "worked" with North Korea for decades now, which is why anyone who thinks that the U.S. poses a nuclear threat to this country is simply being a conspiracy theorist. There is no way that country needs ICBMs, what they need is a new government that actually adheres to a few modern ideals.

I have a questions, didn't this missle crash some 30 seconds after take off into the Sea of Japan. Are we really to believe that a country who doesn't have the suffistication to create a missle that doesn't just crash after take off can really be a serious threat to our security. I am aware of Kim Jong's sabre rattling and the fact that the do have nuclear weapons but they don't have a viable delivery system. How many times can someone cry wolf before the public tires of it?

even flow?

In this world of made up stories to frighten people. Don't the missiles they are testing that are supposed to be long range, have to fly a "long range" to be reliable? I always find it amusing from both sides that they believe that they have these missiles which have never been fired or hit a target half way around the world. But are supposed to hit a target, almost dead on without having ever done such a thing before.

If I lived in the States I would be more worried about the crap leaking into the ground from the jokes in the silos then the new fear of N.Korea having a go at you. I would even fear those missiles on your home land taking off and landing on the continent before I would worry about a state like N.Korea having one hit the west coast.

I think that North Korea missle test was a better example of how little a threat they are, missle explodes 30 seconds after take off. They may have been able to weaponize there nuclear program but they do not have the ability to create a viable delivery system.
