Additionally, the last time I heard info on this, the South Koreans actually have a larger army than N. Korea.
I hardly want a war with N. Korea. But N.Korea does seem to act as an arsenal for any country that wants to oppose us.
There's a big difference between Iraq and N.Korea: China. The problem with N.Korea is that it's been allied with China since the communist took over the country. That alliance is the reason the US backed out or the Korean War in the early '50. Don't kid yourself, the US will demand all they want but they will back down because they cannot afford to fight a battle on two front (terrorism and China).
Mind you, I'm sure China would back down if the US are ready to recognize them as the rightfull leader of China and if they are ready to stop their backing of Taiwan! [img]smile.gif[/img]
