Basically America has problems because they make enemies. Most countries don't look for trouble, and they don't receive any trouble either.

Bush did not make an enemy out of North Korea.
North Korea is and has been a threat to South Korea since the end of armed conflict in 1953. There is only a cease fire in effect (a truce). We have an alliance with South Korea and have our troops placed in forward positions so that any attack by the North on the South will in fact be an attack upon the US.
By the way the last computer model run by the Army that I was aware of, when I was on active duty (been 10 years ago), the North would once again initially overun the South including our forward positioned forces. There has not been any change in our military stance, over the last 10 years, that I am aware of, that would change this scenario. If one wonders why our troops are forward positioned instead of in a supporting role for the ROK forces, it is so the United States can legitimately claim that US forces have been attacked and respond with whatever force is deemed necessary.
