We have only demanded that the rogue states who are already responsible for the mass murder of their own citizens and their neighbors disarm.
Would you really feel more secure if the US disarmed?
The US hasn't demanded that France, Israel, or England disarm. We tried to broker a deal with India and Pakistan to disarm, because it is likely to become a shooting war there at any time, and they WILL use their nuclear weapons. All of the "1st World" is urging North Korea to disarm! It isn't just the US, it includes Russia and China. You all just expect ONLY the US to do something about it, and you complain when we don't. ("You" referring to the collective group of people who have taken this attitude, not any one person in particular)

The fact is, the US is not at all likely to use any weapons of mass destruction unless it is absolutely necessary on the battlefield. It is highly unlikely that we would ever use them on civilian populations, even in retaliation for a similar attack on our own population. Yet it is highly likely that North Korea would use nuclear weapons on civilian populations such as Seoul or Tokyo. That is the difference |

Well the question here is... can anyone take the US seriously when it says, 'They have weapons of mass destruction'? In Korea's case they are not waiting for the US to make the statement. They are in fact declaring their interest in creating and firing WMD. Yet the US has not taken half the steps it did with Iraq. Notice that the situation in N. Korea has all but died down from the news?
UPDATE: I was just looking at a news broadcast that talked about the shortage of food N.Korea is having because of a lack of aid. Now things seem to becoming more apparent. The N.Korean leadership need to be led out in the streets and shot for spending money on nuclear technology while people are dying for lack of food. How can you have face to show off military might while you cannot even feed your own people without external help? Tisk, tisk, you ware a whimp. Yep I am hot, children are dying!

I always get a kick of US citizens when they refer to the poor kids of Iraq, North Korea etc... If you want to see povrety and hardship, just visit some of the black communities in the southern states.
On the topic of North Korea, the US would not be foolish enough to use force against North Korea unless the US beleived their backs were against the wall and that they could get away with using nuclear weapons. That is very scary. A recent factor which also plays against the use of force, is the growing anti-american sentiment in South Korea.
Yet when we started discussing pulling out of South Korea a couple of weeks ago, the nation just about collectively wet their pants.
There are many of us willing to just pull our military out of Europe, South Korea, and Japan. We have been paying to defend them long enough, just so they can badmouth us.
As for poverty, the worst parts of the US are far better off than something like 80% of the rest of the world, especially such places as Iraq and North Korea. At least in the "poor black communities" the people can better their lives, can practice their own religions without fear of being tortured to death, and can get food. None of these things are possible in North Korea.
As far as conflict with NK, I would just as soon see us pull out completely and let them get on with it. It wouldn't be two weeks before the UN would cry and scream for us to go back in, because nobody else but China has the resources to stop NK, and China certainly doesn't want to stop them.
