So who is more of a threat now, Iraq or North Korea?
Iraq's new Illegal Long Range Missile
N. Korea now has a misslie that can hit the west coast
Iraq get's caught with it's pants down... N.Korea is about to test an 8000km Missile.
Who is more of a threat now?
We Americans live in a nation where the medical-care system is second to none in the world, unless you count maybe 25 or 30 little scuzzball countries like Scotland that we could vaporize in seconds if we felt like it.

Yeah. That must be why there aren't any war protests going on.

I noticed you guys jumped on that comment and avoided addressing the issue of this thread.

Please ignore the odd quasi-flamebait that seems to be an attempt to prove a point. (I'm refering to Che, in case anyone was wondering 
)

Iraq. North Korea is predictable. We know why they do what they do, and thus we can deal with them. This is similar to the Cold War era, which wasn't so bad because you had basically too logical sides that were concerned with the outcome of war and the future. Iraq on the other hand, along with the radicals in that region, are very much unpredictable.

Re: So who is more of a threat now, Iraq or North Korea?
Iraq
They both pose the same amount of threat, or potental threat. Both forms of weapornary that they own, and both can kill many in the inital attack, as well as the fall out of both...viral, and nuclear can cause a devistating attack...but viral can do so much more.
The scary part, viral in some cases, can cause more of a fallout...1 million might die in a nuclear attack from Korea, then we just wipe it off the face of the earth...
You hit us with a virus in which we can not be cured of, and we could have the next coming of the Black Death. Technically it's already here, we just can protect ourselves against it. (AIDS)
Remember, Europe was hit with something we can relatively say is close to being the flu...and more than 1/3 of Europe's population was killed...when all was said and done.
If Iraq sends out something with the same devastation possibilities, in lets say UK's International Airport, and it's not known about the attack...we can be in many cases, literally, F-uped.
We may be able to wipe them off the face of the earth, but it won't matter, the damage had been done.
