First of all, I am not sure if any other country really likes the US foreign policy but anyway.

Yes thats exactly what we are saying, but Iraq was no thread to the US, ever.

But aboot North Corea, you really think that a preemptive (?) strike is justified or reasonable?

I can't explain Iraq. I'm ashamed of my country for ever even embarking on the mission in the first place, but what's done is done....and it can't be undone. It's now America's responsibility to see things through to the end.

Saddam was a potential threat to the United States. After what the US did to Iraq in the early 90s, it's been widely believed by our administration that Saddam would have used nuclear weapons on the US if he had them. (or atleast that's what they lead everyone to believe)

I don't think a preemptive strike against North Korea or Iran are justifiable or reasonable. A lot of talks need to take place and progress needs to be made.

North Korea and America can't even agree to have discussions. They're like a bunch of 5 year olds.

well look at US Debts, and then tell me the US lives on its own.

I didn't say it lives on it's own...I said it wasn't reliant on North Korea for their food or power.

Economically...even in debt....America has the largest economy in the world. They trade with more nations than any one nation and they trade a more diverse range of goods.

America is more than capable of providing it's own source of food. There is sufficient land and technology to produce food....it's just not economically efficient.

Why plant thousands of acres of rice when they can get it from another country for a fraction of the cost?

The US economy would be nothing if are isolated. They need oil from The middle east and Canada. They need in The future a lot of water from Canada. Middle east and Canada will ensure that The US enough of those supplies for centuries. The US is not self sufficient. WE would go back 100 years if we did.

This is an arguement that no one here is qualified to have.

....meaning?

There is way too much speculation. Most Americans cannot even tell you what our foriegn policy is and someone abroad can?

so you are iranian or syrian?

Neither, but I am not one of the individuals condemning Bush or US policy either. I am just saying that there will never be enough known facts to form a proper opinion on the matter.

Well but we can speculate on the facts we know, well maybe there is more maybe not, doesn't matter though in this thread, since we are just discussing our opinions, which we arwe not only entitled too but also the only qualified ones to talk aboot.

All too often people confuse facts with opinions.

well it doesn't matter though from what sources we got our "facts". We discuss aboot our opinions, and everyone can do that. We are not entitled to say that what we say is the absolute truth.

Which could be why people end up at odds with one another.

Besides, opinions are like assholes.....everyone has one and most of them stink.

well Iran certainly not... but well since Kim seems to b very interested in devopng more nuclear weapons... he might b a real threat... not only to the U.S, so I dunno... cuz if the U.S sits back and waits for things to happen, N. Korea might in that time develope more and more nukes, and well when the U.S becomes aware that there r many nukes in N. Korea it might b too late... but maybe Kim's intention really isn't to have millions of nukes and attack the U.S so i dunno... I'm not a politician 😬

I missed the part where America actually ever used a nuke in the name of freedom.

America is capable of doing sufficient damage to just about any country in the world without ever having to resort to nuclear warfare. Iran, North Korea, or Syria for that matter would have to resort ot nuke warefare in order to do sufficient damage to the United States.

No they wouldnt 😖
The US isnt invincible you know....

but it's way stronger than N.K Syria and Iran... I agree with Link it would be rather hard for those countries to make any serious damage to the states with out nukes, probably taking hostages ppl and stuff... but that doesnt count as serious
