The US doens't want to make any "preventive" strikes.
North Korea entered a treaty with the US saying "NO NUKES". It was pretty plain and simple. While most of North Korea is starving, the US supplied it with billions of dollars of nuclear power plants so the country doesn't fucking freeze to death during the winter. In return the violated this treaty and now may have a nuclear bomb. This in itself is grounds for war.
Read between the lines here - The US gave North Korea billions of dollars. The US wants to be friends with North Korea and help them, not kill them.
Iraq? There isn't any discussion to be had with Iraq. Here is a country that invades it's neighbor and rapes them; It's people, it's land, it's riches. The US didn't have a problem with Iraq; In fact, the US support Iraq during the Iran-Iraq war. The problem was when it invaded one of our allies. Then it launched missiles at Israel for no reason what so ever. The US didn't want to replace it's leader; It wanted Iraq out of Kuwait. Now, ten years later, Iraq refuses to obey the terms of surrender and fires on our planes enforcing the terms of the surrender. This too is grounds for war.
Remember the Iraqi retreat? I'll never forgot the convoy of Mercedes Benz filled with TVs and stereos.......
China has little to do with this thread. If Chinia was to invade Japan then it would be a different story. For the most part China has done nothing but enjoy the silence, and has made great improvements all around the board with human rights issues, and so forth.
Any country that supports terrorism should be taken out, including some of our own allies.
