------------------

It's important to note, that North Korea tested a Nuke. However, isolating this regime is not the solution, but will actually embolden and anger the Koreans. The Koreans are starving, and threatening them with war, or with sanctions, only serves to accentuate an already tricky situation. However, I doubt the U.S. will go to war with North Korea. The U.S. are more likely to go to war with Iran being that they are more Israel-centric when it comes to their foreign policy, than they are likely to go to war with North Korea.

It is my utmost hope that war does not break loose, however, the U.S.'s continual failures vis-a-vis foreign policy is really dragging the country in a terrible proverbial hole. American troops are already widely dispersed around the world, the war in Iraq is costing the American taxpayer close to half a trillion dollar, and I doubt the United States can afford to go to war once more.

In addition, there is a theory in political science, it's called M.A.D., which refers to mutually assured destruction. If two countries have nuclear warheads, this acts as a deterrent rather than inciting war, because they realize that nuclear weapons deployment would result in devastating destruction on both sides and this in effect will act as a means to avoid any future war.

What do I think of North Korea? Well I hope it unites with the South, and it finally becomes one country, Korea, rather than obviously divided. That would in effect create a new sense of nationalism, and would solve a lot of problems in the region and potentially save lives.
