No, they wonīt attack SK.

1) They are their relatives.
2) Attacking US is more fun.

well i doubt they could hit the US coast very accurately... they'd probably end up hitting a nuclear test facility or something

they'd go after Japan

You obviously don't get Comedy Central over there. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart just reported that the new North Korean "Taepo Dong 2" missile only has a range of 1200 miles, which is an improvement over the "Taepo Dong 1", which was only 800 miles.

I nearly found a video of it for you, but it seems that someone removed it.

Come come now, just because Austria's landlocked now and has no way to invade the US without getting a right-of-passage agreement with splintered Yugoslavia or your mortal enemies in Italy doesn't mean you have to entrust your faith in NK to enact Austria's great vengeance.

My guess on the future of the situation :

- the diplomatic storm abates, everybody understands the potential losses by talking too loudly.
- the unification of Korea continues
- NK completes its nuclear program
- NK uses its newfound power to force SK into accepting a unification favorable to Kim's regime.
- Unified Korea becomes a capitalist dictatorship under the rule of Kim with a mock parliament, and a recognized nuclear power

(this is the optimist situation)

Spiffor tends to only get defensive when you attack Europeans. He doesn't seem affected by the constants jokes at France. Not that you are all that defensive Spiffor.

No, I'm talking about NK. They're trying to get onto Washington's agenda, but nobody is buying their rhetoric.

NK was simply provided evidence that the US knew about their "energy" program and we sent both a diplomatic back-channel communique and the 'axis of evil' speech as an outward warning. One B2 could ruin Kim's whole day. I don't think he understands the personal survival thing as well as Hussein. Ask Qadaffi about US calling cards.
