How do you handle the fallout cloud drifting over Japan? Get a big fan and blow it the other way... besides, they're use to it, they've been nuked before... You know, military adventures have a way of going in unplanned directions. The Fog of War. That a part of life... If you think you could pull this off without a million friendly casualties, How many friendly casualties were there during all of WWII? I think you are totally wrong. How do you know? Too many uncertainties by far You want a guarantee? Take out an insurance policy... otherwise it would have been done by now. Again, how do you know? How about that the politicians have no stomach for confrontation? What would your guy ron paul do? How come he's quiet on this question? GZ

Re: "The North Koreans are nuts. If you think you could pull this off without a million friendly casualties, I think you are totally wrong." So say most military experts.... Expected consequences of "full-scale hostilities": 1) Many millions of dead North Koreans. 2) One to one and a half million dead South Koreans. 3) Up to 50,000 dead Americans (our 'trip wire' deployment in South Korea... most well within artillery range). 4) Up to 500,000 dead Japanese. (Well within missile range.) (Personal prediction: there is absolutely no doubt that our forces would prevail... but it might be a bit of a Pyrrhic victory, in that out allies would never be the same - [and perhaps not even allies any longer] - again.) However, I also do not thing that "full scale" is a very great likelihood. Conflicts of lesser scale are far more likely.
