- NK isn't tipped off by the nuclear "disaster" and attacks the South in desperation.
- All the fuel rods are at the plant and destroyed rather than exchanged with terrorist.
- China whimpers down and complies like a beaten puppy, rather than half way superficially responds while appealing to the world (who are appalled by Bush's renegade tactics)
- That our stock market doesn't crash with the threat of war with China, and Democrats put Bush in the minority domestically.
- That the world, always sympathetic to underdogs, doesn’t end all cooperation with us in the war on terrorism, especially after we kill millions with nuclear weapons along the DMZ.
- That all the nuclear weapons NK now says they don't have are found and destroyed.
- That in 10 years, neutron bombs don't become as popular among nations as rhymes are with Jessie Jackson.
Perhaps a first strike on the nuclear weapons and processing facilities is warranted, but not a nuclear first strike on the DMZ. Too expedient, not looking at the long term consequences.
