Yeah I'm so scared of all the horrible things that North Korea can do to us. What are they going to do? Trot out the U.S.S. Pueblo with some 70s era SSMs and throw a couple dozen poorly maintained MiG-25s and SU-23s at us? North Korea is a paper tiger, and Kim Jong-Il knows that even better than we do. He doesn't even have the resources to take care of his peopel in peace time, much less have the fuel, munitions, and food to sustain a prolonged full scale conflict with us, South Korea, Japan, and whoever else would get into it with us against them. There isn't squat they could do if we shot their p**s pot missile down. Bush could literally give Il the finger via cable TV and tell him "send up anymore, and we'll drop them too you little mongaloid looking toad." and all Il could do is yell and threaten.
KJI doesn't care about his people but maybe he'd like to start a war between the US and everyone else. The conflict has to start somewhere and who says he has to finish the fight? His people are starving anyway...so what if they get killed. (/sarcasm)

Not much, beyond vaporizing the entire city of Seoul and our servicemen there. But that's a pretty big deal to some of us.
