United States and Company VS.
Iraq, Iran, North Korea and Company

It's almost a reality. The questions that remains is who will be on who's side. Seriously, this is scary business, but I doubt that the U.S. is going to charge into a country with a million troops and nuclear weapons. They'll take the diplomatic approach with them at least. Well this is before my time but I've watched many documentaries about the cold war on the history channel. What we're going through now is no where near what the tension was like back then. I mean for a couple years we constantly had planes in the air armed with nukes ready to attack at a moments notice.

I think George Bush is doing a great job right now. Although people may think that we're trying to be too dominant over other countries, honestly someone has to keep everybody in line so that world wide war doesn't break out. Trust me, the US would like to solve all of the worlds problems through a diplomatic approach but unfortunately its not happening. To show what happens when the US takes a laid back approach just look at the Clinton administration years. We knew about a lot of threats but did nothing about them. Then in 2001 everything erupted and America was attacked. Bush is simply cleaning up the mess that Clinton left behind.

Its a shame that there can't be peace in the world...

I'm torn between moving this to Mature Discussion or just leaving it here.

And I don't really care what happens... ;)

Don't worry...although it's mature, it belongs as a general topic in The Lounge.

Why is the U.S approaching Iraq in a hostile way, while approaching Korea in a diplomatic way?

The reason is quite obvious. Korea has ZERO oil and is not a threat to Israel.

The U.S puts it's soldiers lives on line for Israel, a country that leeches off money from the U.S, and lets the U.S.A take the blame for many actions Israel does.

Israelis laugh at how they have the U.S.A by the balls, it's time to cut aid, and let them survive by themselves. And approach Iraq, Korea, and Iran diplomaticly and actually make friends on the region.

Relations upon the Middle East is very doubtful this generation.

It's all about oil here, and protecting Isreal, if N. Korea had anything for us to benefit from by attacking them we would have done it already.

It is also somewhat personal I think for Bush because he is trying to finish what his father started.
