I wonder how long it will be before suicide bombers take to the high seas to blow themselves up in the faces of the US Navy, much like they have done at US checkpoints in Iraq.

The North Koreans are insane, so they will indeed do something nuts in response to getting ships stopped and boarded.

I would bet that they won't stop...which will require us to disable them. I bet they will resist when boarded. I would not be surprised if they didn't pack a ship full of explosives and try to blow up themselves and the boarding parties.

They have pulled nutso stuff before for no apparent reason.

If North Koreans were insane then there would already be war. Kim isn't stupid...he knows EXACTLY how far to push things. He always has and always will. He will not bring about war. It just won't happen. He wants money and so on. There won't be a war. Kim is a joke.

Iran on the other hand...I predict war within six months. Israel.

I doubt that you would see N koreans volunteering for suicide duty. Unlike the brainwashed Mohammadans, they don't have 72 raisins waiting for them in Satans brothel. You can also bet that should anything break out Bush will do his best to make an example out of N Korea for the mad Mullahs to ponder in Iran.
