No one seems to care about the well-being of the Middle East, but Asia (especially Northeast Asia) is much more important to America for business and technology than Iraq ever could be....we can't just go in bombs-a-dropping and guns-a-blazing into North Korea because of the potential retaliation and destruction of key economic and development areas.

Plus, who knows what China would do? They might be waiting for this war because North Korea has the world's third largest army...and I believe China has the world's first largest...maybe they have a secret pact to ally and take on the Americans together...in which case America is screwed for a long time...

Either way...I live about four hours from North Korea...and I am not too worried about it...

Just stoned....:stoned:
I wouldn't be worried, either. The military options are zero, so even the most chicken-hawkish of chicken hawks rule it out. I disagree about the importance of economics; oil and regional stability seem more fundamental than buiness in asia...
