<Yes, but North Korean missiles can't reach North America yet so there is a little breathing room. As for South Korea, China and Japan, I hope they don't learn to adopt US and Israeli pre emptive policy the hard way-as in after a North Korean nuclear missile attack. Israel took out the Iraqi nuclear facility over 10 years ago in a pre emptive strike and for good reason. The time for talk and diplomacy is long over. Don't forget that Iran's missile technology is from Iraq.> So let me understand: If the North Koreans could wipe out all our major west coast cities, plus Hawaii, we might not engage in a game of "lets play thermo nuclear warfare". But so long as its only Tokyo a city with 30 million people within a 30 mile radius of Tokyo tower, or Beijing with 15 milllion people, or Soeul or anyone of the cities with a total population of hundreds of millions of people that are easily within range of North Korean missiles, then it would be just fine to take this opportunity to show we are now "weak" -- have I got that right?
