maybe the south koreans feel that way..but i dont think the North Koreans feel the same; there are so many incidents: abduction, shooting, isolation, threats and all..and after so long, probably there are not as many nuclear south korean families that are split between the 2 countries..Kondora do you have any family members across the parallel??

it seems that they have already identified themselves as people of a different land..

US knows perfectly well since their space program was also just a billboard for their ICBM prowess. Same with Russia. It was all about nuclear missiles.

everyone's going nuts! North Korea launched a rocket! OH NOESSSSSSSS!!!

(http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/asiapcf/04/05/north.korea.rocket/index.html for details, I guess)

Honestly, do people really think there is a missile attached to it and that North Korea is going to attack anybody? Maybe I'm just skeptical at this stage and I frankly don't think a major conflict will break out in the world for a long time, and if it does it will be initiated by a much larger power such as Russia, China, or the United States. Personally, I think they just want to get a satellite up in space, it's a pretty big thing for a country to have a space program and launch a satellite successfully, and fuck it why can't they? It was the same thing with Iran's satellite (launched about a month ago)... big fuss ultimately for nothing.

Just because North Korea is run by a crazy fuck doesn't mean everything the country does is evil and maliciously planned. Let them have their rocket in space!


"Violence is the first refuge of the incompetent"... -Isaac Asimov

a major conflict is inevitable, call it human nature whatever, i think the possibility is directly related to plunging world markets. you should know what happens when people are poor and hopeless

i'd like you to memorize this quote: "Naturally, the common people don't want war ... but after all it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country." -Hermann Goering

if there is one problem with the majority of internet personalities, TL'ers, online elitists it is their lack of understanding towards reality. most of TL for example are students, very liberal, very opinionated about how the world works so just as a reminder the human run world has worked a certain way for a very long time and thats the reality

on the other hand i know nothing about the space race but i doubt n. korea has very humane, very open-ended diplomatics towards placing a satellite in orbit... for what reason would they do this? military? yes damn likely communication? sure entertainment for the people? yeah maybe --basically US and world leaders don't want to take the chance on a hunch about one leaders aspirations globally or locally and preemptive measures are what keep 85% of the people in the world safe at night, the things you'll never hear about

think about like that, yes their leader is tyrannical and insane, his motives are not complicated and no n. korean people are not the spitting image of said leader

There is no evidence that the man, Kim Jong Il is insane. He's sane as the rest of the population with his own insecurities, his own vices, and his own lust for power. He's playing the world for a fool, if the world believes that he is insane and unpredictable. Like a professional poker player, Kim Jong Il has the stupid government officials from the US eating out of his hand.

If the US only had enough sense to ignore Kim Jong Il's demands for foreign aid. Don't give him any, and if the people of North Korea object to being starved, they can revolt or refuse to work.

It's just amazing how the people of the Western world help prop up all these vicious dictators in the 3rd world. It's as if their government officials conspired to keep all those people of 3rd world countries oppressed in a state of poverty.

Pretty much yeah, it's why we in the west can afford to live the way we do.

Why not? You think they have no communication systems? No research programs?

And as i said, it's a big difference between launching a satellite (having the missile to launch it) and testing an ICBM.

Ah come on, why do they need icbms for japan or SK? They can throw a nuke there even by airplane.



and who made you the expert on ICBMs? Why are you trying to give an opinion on something you know nothing about? Thats like you telling a civil engineer how to build a bridge and criticizing him b/c you dont like the plans he made. Does that make any sense to you? Just b/c you're a human being and have an opinion, doesnt make it valid or real. If you dont know, keep your misguided opinions to yourself

Biggest does by no means mean the strongest. According to this page NK has about twice the US manpower (dunno what year those stats are from). Does it mean that NK would kick US ass? If you call people armed with pitch forks and knives an army, sweden has 9 million soldiers, ready to invade norway.

the fact that North Korea has used the same excuse (rocket to space) to cover up things in the past automatically puts them on the negative side of the issue.
