I agree that it is very common for governments in times of internal trouble to direct the attention of the public to external issues. Some will even argue that governments have even created such external issues in the past to relief themselves of internal pressure. As demonstrated by the events following 09/11, the population tends to rally behind their leaders during those times.

Would legislation like the Patriot Act have passed if 09/11 hadn't happened ?

But I am straying off topic again. My apologies.

The problem I have with NK and that argument is that whatever the feelings of the population about this might be, their leaders cannot hope to gain enough military and economical strength to fight the US at any given moment. It's a bluff, and not even a good one.
But I also agree that we don't really know anything about the inner workings of NK. Who knows what its people really think...

I think Kim Jong may have started a fire.  China didnt seem to enjoy the fact that he fired some missiles, Japan didnt, we all know the US didnt.  But thats all in the past right now.  He has Israeli (spelling?) rocket scientists helping him out with this program, proven.  He's got the world watching him, and whether you or he admits it or not he's using outdated Soviet weaponry, and hes walking on eggshells with his power right now, if he launches again sometime soon, I will be surprised.

And by my "yep and nope" statement, I was implying how shortsighted you were Toni.  You dont seem to have a wide and open mind perspective about some things.  Which is really a pain to deal with, but to come into debate and serious talk and call people childish names, it would be like your leaders having a debate with our leaders here in the US, and yours says "YEAH WELL FUCK YOU!!!".  Now how would that make your leaders look to the world?  Oh yeah you dont care as long as its pointed toward the US.  I didnt say nope with the intent to disrespect, it was to make it known that what they teach you about us in your country it seems is wrong.  If we are so scared what are we still doing in Iraq?  Oh yeah because we learned from our last few mistakes and are finishing what we started.  If we are sooooo scared, what are we doing evacuating refugees from a country we are not involved with yet?  So whatever country you are from, whats your country doing right now?

Not saying i dont believe you, but do you have proof to backup that Israel has been helping N. Korea with their missle program. I find that very hard to believe, especially with the US's relations with Israel.
