[quote name="Jhoh Creexul"][quote name="Zseni"][quote][quote]Of course, a nuclear Iraq would be worse than NK.[/quote]No contest on this point. [/quote] DOOOOOOOOOOD I totally told all your guys about North Korea, I told it to you six ways from Sunday. North Korea: not actually half as bad as anyone wants you to think. Fucking Faggot was right: it's the threat that 4 or 5 different national governments make big big because it pays the bills and wins the elections. They'll never touch the trigger. They don't <i>want</i> to touch the trigger. What they want is the giant fat package of foreign aid that Japan is preparing for them after the next series of elections - in which, thanks to the North Korean threat, the LDP completely sweeps and orders another batallion or two of American soldiers with their sake. Big, scary, nuclear North Korea is actually poised to begin negotiations with South Korea touching on stuff like <i>reunification</i>. They're negotiating with threatened missile-hittable Japan over <i>economic reforms and food aid</i>. The Chinese are standing behind all this with a giant cattle prod and nasty threats if the DPRK doesn't heel. Iraq is a much much bigger "threat" than North Korea. Don't worry about North Korea: the entire Asia-Pacific region is taking perfectly good care of North Korea, the way a man nurses a limp because it makes girls ask if he's a war hero. [/quote] I thought it was cool how people say the exact opposite. North Korea is a bigger threat than Iraq, Iraq is a bigger threat than North Korea. I think our president has actually figured this out for us.[/quote]
