And when did the North Koreans last attack us?

Well, there's the Pueblo Incident.

Well, there was the infamous "tree-cutting" incident of 1976. Seems that the North Koreans decided to go after some American soldiers that were cutting down trees in the DMZ.

And there's the more than occasional firefight that breaks out when we discover one of their invasion tunnels and try to seal it up.

And there's the NK's habit of infiltrating people into South Korea to commit terrorism.

And...and...

Have you tired of looking like a fool, yet?

No need to have a link. You've got an extremely dangerous man who hates the United States, and an extremely dedicated terrorists trying to destroy the U.S. Just the possibility that they could link up should be enough but if its not...
If Saddam can't send warplanes over, he will send terrorist sleepers over just like Hitler did.

If North Korea or Iraq attacked us, then we would invade and destroy them. They know that and will not attack us.

ROFLMBO! You ignored the entire paragraph and repeated your ill-considered opinion. Again, please explain how the Rape of NanKing fits in with your "they know they will be attacked for it so they won't do it" premise. In fact, let's get even simpler. Try Pearl Harbor. Explain the logic behind that, since they KNEW, without doubt, that America would retaliate, and that we had the power to defeat them given time. Please.

You're a fool, and an enabler.
Right....

It's good that you agree.

And when did the North Koreans last attack us? How about Iraq?

Well, Iraq pays terrorists and their families to commit their atrocities... that includes al-Qaeda... which attacked US embassies in Africa, the USS Cole, the WTC (twice), American military barracks... but if you want a more direct example, you can look at the Iraqi release this week expressing how their "brave soldiers" have shot at Allied warplanes and drones over 500 times in the past few years. (or is their word not good enough for you?)

As for North Korea, they are following the same exact path as Saddam... thousands of dead and dying since the leaders are more interested in building weapons than in food and medicine... breaking their promises and treaties and blaming America for it... staging protests and marches calling for America's death... threatening to use WMD's... restarting their WMD programs, violating their own promises...

see a pattern, here? Now compare it to the precedent set by Nazi Germany, when they broke their defense treaties, threatened their neighbors, spent scarce resources on guns rather than butter, allowed weapons inspectors to look around while hiding their true abilities, developing the very first missiles and nuclear programs...

but you're right, North Korea hasn't actually invaded any innocent neighors recently (since they only border their greatest ally, China, and a nation with American tropps already stationed to protect it... hmmm, no THAT wouldn't have anything to do with it, now would it?)

Funny in a tragic way. He's bitching about free speech on a private board when he knows full well conservatives are banned from DU.

It is always a case of rights for me and none for thee (those is disagreement) with that crowd.

I would not execute someone for blocking the entrance to a military base.

Good, no one's asking you to.

Satire:

I have been trying very hard to NOT become just another bat swinging reactionary. At some point, however, if the civil authorities refuse to arrest traitors... Mark, stop that, there you go again! It's really tough when almost all local gov around here used to themselves be hippie protesters spitting on GIs! Maybe I had better expedite my move to Nevada before I give in to my inner most impulses... just kidding!.... another warning! stop that Mark!

Oh, I'm sorry; you mean we have to wait for them to physically attack us as opposed to making threats and motions in that direction?

Oh, gee. Thanks for setting us straight on that. I must have been foolish to feel threatened by a pair of tyrants who are trying to take over and/or destroy the planet...silly me.

If the US were under attack, blocking a miltary base entrance would be met by getting shot. In a time of war, there are limits on behavior and freedom to act. You libertarians never seem to want to address the illiberal supports that are necessary to make our overall system function. Without such supports, reluctantly applied at certain times, our cherished freedoms would be overcome by forces who seek our total demise. Why is it that libertarians seem to always fail in the strategic dimension?
