But why would Kim Jong II launch a missle stike against South Korea, Japan or USA? He is crazy but not stupid, any attack of this nature should automatically lead to his death and overthrow of the North Korean government. Is Kim Jong II willing to take the gamble that civilized nations have become so PC, he could be brazen enough to launch a missile attack and live to tell about it? I can't see GWB tolerating any military strikes from North Korea.
I disagree.
Kim Jong il is both crazy and stupid.
He is suicidal.
He has attacked the South and Japan on countless occasions, following the footsteps of his father. Admittedly low level (sub incursions, bombing of civilian jets, kidnapping of civilians, assassinations of S. Korean first ladies, counterfeit, drug trade, etc);l since he cannot be trusted in small things, he could bring a hell of a lot of suffering in big things.
