NK has two nukes I don't think our knowledge of NK nuclear program is that precise. I'd say they have 0 to a couple of dozen nukes. But lets say they have two nukes. We decide to invade to keep them from building more. Seoul could be in trouble even with out nukes, but one nuke on Seoul could esily kill millions. Then NK announces that if we don't stop attacking they will fire a nuclear tipped missile at Tokyo and launch conventional and chemical tipped missiles all over South Korea and Japan. Hasn't any conservative stopped to realize that the reason Bush is going after NK right now is not because of their two nukes but because his hands are full with Iraq? That is of course another reason. And a good one. However, to go on about these two nukes as being the major deterrent is specious and ridiculous. Not at all. 2 nukes could cause a lot of damage. Enough to make 9/11 look like a minor event. Tim

However, to go on about these two nukes as being the major deterrent is specious and ridiculous. You're serious? Hell, they have enough artillery dug in within striking distance of Seoul to kill the city with Bio/chem. The two nukes can be used on Japan or China -- or whereever. This guy is as bad as Hitler. NK has two nukes.....under what scenarios do you see them dropping the two and for what purpose, since we could annihilate them in an instant? Unfortunately, short of killing millions of innocent North Koreans, we don't have much of an option here. Any OTHER option involves him potentially killing millions of South Koreans, which he can do with artillery before we can knock it out.
