Sure, why not. It's not like we can't afford to waste more resources or more wars....

What happened to the sanity of the American people? If all you make are weapons, then every problem looks like a target....

1. Americans know war is good for business.

[DrDan]

10. yep - fighting two wars has our economy booming

[Winterblues]

18. Right and how is that working out for us at the moment, what with two wars going on?

That is the most inaccurate statement ever, at least as bad as trickle down economics is good for America..or Democrats are going to destroy America...

[MadHound]

2. Oh yeah, like China will sit still for that

Can you say WWIII?

[nevergiveup]

I have a friend who couldn't sleep all night

because he was afraid the North Koreans are going to attack us. He considers Obama a wimp because he didn't launch a counter attack. I told him the thing fizzled out and dropped in the sea. His response was "wait til the next one". You really can't help these folks. They believe what they want to believe

[dysfunctional press]

3. i'd love to know how they phrased their poll question...

and the make-up of their polling group.

i cannot believe, especially after the folly in iraq, that a majority of americans would favour an unprovoked attack on north korea.

[bdamomma]

4. what the hell is wrong with people aren't we tired of killing people??

totally brainwashed people.

[spartan61]

5. Didn't we already go to war with N. Korea in the 50s?

And what did that get us except for many American dead soldiers? Why are there so many war crazy Americans? Guess they saw too many John Wayne war movies.

6. They'll forget in a month

Just how it goes with countries like North Korea.

[wellst0nev0ter]

7. Good. Then They Can Enlist. (n/t)

[KansDem]

8. It'll never happen. N. Korea is not like Iraq.

N. Korea doesn't have oil and it does have WMDs...

[Deep13]

9. With what?

:shrug:

[RaleighNCDUer]

13. With South Koreans, of course. nt

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

11. Considering how well our recent wars are going..they better settle for Mighty Graneda.

The politicians and Pentagon should start erecting bogeymen we can deal with. Tonga?

[LeftinOH]

12. Rassmussen, Schmassmussen. I don't believe polls anymore.....nt/

[chrisa]

14. Oh no. Not again.

We're going to be in wars for 20 years at this point, and be bankrupt in 5.

15. Arrogant, ignorant fucks that live deep inside a vast empire that has no chance of being invaded

This is what happens when you have a huge population of people, that live right in the middle of a vast, far stretching empire, that has no chance of invasion on it's own shores. I swear, sometimes I wish the U.S. would suffer real invasion on our shores, just once. Just once, maybe some tanks from China could roll right down the middle of downtown dum-fukistan, level everything in their paths, kill and main a hundred thousand or so, reduce a few walmarts and starbucks to piles of smoking rubble, and give these dipshits a taste of what we have been dishing out to the rest of the world since the 50's. :banghead:

I'm sure the people living within mortar range of the border in South Korea (including the entire city of Seoul, which by itself contains 10 million people (24.5 million if you include suburbs), are very happy that we have such broad thinking, and wise people, like these poll respondents living in this country.

Theoretically, in the long term, North Korea would likely lose any replay of the Korean War. Not only is their military technologically inferior in just about every way to what the US and South Korea have but, considering the change in China from hardcore ideology first Communists, to "hey guys, we can make a hell of a lot of money from trading with South Korea," that it's very unlikely the Chinese would have their backs this time around. That being said the border of N-S Korea is literally lined on the northern side with thousands, if not millions, of guns, and it's only 70 km from downtown Seoul. Most likely, in the very short term, the result of any actual war would be the leveling of everything within range.

Attacking North Korea means sacrificing Seoul, Seoul would be destroyed, millions would be killed and displaced, and the economies of all of Asia would be utterly devastated for generations. Thankfully, the South Koreans obviously aren't willing to do that.

Ahh screw it, I don't want to think about it anymore...just nuke 'em all and let god sort 'em out :eyes:

Americans fucking suck.

16. Idiocracy is real.

There are too many people who just don't like thinking. It's not 'cool'. Not limited to any socioeconomic or educational level either... lots of educated idiots out there. Tons.

17. Nuclear brinksmanship worked out SO well in the past. (link) 'Those who don't know
