Sorry haven't read the rest of the thread, but you're ran by bush.
Not so. Pretty much the entire globe figures N Korea to be a dangerous element, not just Bush sycophants. China is majorly pissed at the moment, and is probably the country that is least influenced by George Bush, or anyone else for that matter.

Who's been in more conflicts than north Korea and probably causes a threat to more places than north Korea does to.
Not so. Bush has to answer to Congress, the American population and the UN. Iraq was an easy war crime, it's a piddly little country in the arse-end of the world. However, you only ever get away with that once in a presidency. There is no way Bush could spark a major invasion now without UN backing. For one thing, criticism would come flying in from all over the shop and he'd probably be forced to resign. Secondly, while he can't stand for another term, his party can, and you can bet that some Republican big-wigs are leaning on him to keep the faux pas low at the moment in the hopes of winning the next election with another candidate. I'll agree, N Korea is a tit-wank in the danger department - it can't even get a missle across the Pacific - but I think you're building up Bush to be some kind of gun-toting fuckwit who doesn't give a shit what his actions do damge to. And he is. BUT he's a gun-toting fuckwit who is being reined in by just about every authority at the moment. Kim Jong-il is
not being reined in, he's the most powerful person in his country. He's majorly pissed because his biggest buddy, China, finally started backing sanctions against N Korea in July, thereby leaving him mateless. He's given up negotiating and I would say is far bigger threat at the moment.
