Surprisingly enough, North Korea makes one of the most advanced game AIs for go (board games) in the world that even the Japanese press had praised. AKA, Silver Star Baduk.

No its be discussed numerous times. This is a cycle that N Korea goes through regularly its posturing to appear strong in the eyes of the world. A war there would destroy the Korean peninsula. As much as N Korea likes to boast about attacking S Korea or the US they wont because of the aftermath and the US wont attack either we are otherwise occupied with former President Bush's mess at the moment

You do realize that congress VOTED to go to war with Iraq do you not? So I would say it would be OUR problem, not Bush. In essence stop blaming Bush for everything.

Yeah, it is a cycle - except that the difference is that N Korea now has more powerful nuclear weapons. It's hard not to take the threat of a declaration of war seriously.

They've definitely got the people to be conditioned against us.

War is not something they seek persay, despite their bluster, they like tweeking the US and think they can while China sits there. However, China is starting to show signs of irritation, so it will be interesting few months.

The biggest concern is the possability of NK's weapons getting into the hands of crazies who would actually use them. Massive retalation doesn't mean anything to terror groups who have no border or national flag.

I think that is the main concern here, afterall, if some isolated wacko shoots up a school...who do you retaliate against? It's the same here..except with bigger weapons.

War against USA is not the main objective for North Korea. It's about undermining the current US diplomatic policies on East Asia.

In other words, North Korea's is primarily attacking the soft "non-military" spot of USA with strong empty actions.

The North Korean crisis is a huge failure for both Democrats and Republicans.

You and me!

We have the South Koreans who can't wait to live abroad, and the North Koreans that are victimised in their own country..
