LOL now that was the funniest thing that i have ever heard during a serious discussion.
WHAT HAPPENED TO AMERICA DURING THE KOREAN WAR?
We are the UNITED STATES of AMERICA the only superpower in the world and if it came down to it no country (outside of maybe Russia) could ever defeats us within the forseeable future.
AMERICA IS NOT THE ONLY SUPER POWER IN THE WORLD. THE TOP FOUR NATIONS (IN REGARDS TO MILLITARY) ARE AMERICA,CHINA (WITH OVER 200 MILLION SOLDIERS IN THE ARMY), RUSSIA (WITH SOPHISTICATED NUKE POWERED SUBS "PETER THE GREAT" AND MOBILE NUKES "TOPEL-M"), AND ISRAEL.
CHINA HAS NUKES AND CHINA ALSO HAS AMERICAN TECHNOLOGY. KEEP THAT IN MIND.
we have the power to OBLITERATE North Korea if we wanted to at any given time. OK!!!!!! just in case you didnt know that.
WITH NUKES YES. WITH FOOT SOLDIERS? NO. IF AMERICA DID USE NUKES ON NORTH KOREA WHAT WOULD THAT DO TO THE SOUTH?
maybe, if Stars Wars works it might just save your ass.
ACTUALLY AS OF RIGHT NOW AMERICA HAS NO MISSLE DEFENSE SYSTEM.

HERES AN EXCERPT FROM THAT SITE (IN CASE YOU DONT HIT IT).
The priority the Administration places on missile defense is appropriate because the nation has no capability of defending its territory and people against missile attacks. Additionally, as ballistic missiles and weapons of mass destruction proliferate to rogue states, they become better able to threaten America as well as security in every region of the world. In such an
increasingly hostile environment, even a system with limited defense capabilities has value.
HERE ARE MORE LINKS IN REGARDS TO LACK OF MISSLE DEFENSE.

IF I WAS KOREA I WOULD HIT CALI. CALIFORNIA IS THE *THE FIFTH LARGEST ECONOMY IN THE WORLD*.
SAN JOSE WOULD BE A TARGET BECAUSE OF THE TECHNOLOGY OF THAT AREA.
THE BAY AREA (SF,OAKLAND,FAIRFIELD, VALLEJO ETC ETC ETC) WOULD BE A TARGET BECAUSE OF MULTIPLE BRIDGES, AIRFORCE BASE, POPULATION ,REFINERIES AND *PRODUCE*.
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WOULD BE A TARGET DUE TO POPULATION AND THE MONEY THAT FLOWS THROUGH L.A.
HOW WOULD I DO IT IF I WERE N.KOREA? SUITCASE NUKES. NO NEED TO LAUNCH A NUKE WHEN I CAN SEND IN 100 PEOPLE WHO *MIGHT* ALREADY BE IN AMERICA AND HAVE THEM SET IT OFF.....
YOUR SO CALLED MISSLE DEFENSE WOULD BE OBSOLETE AND GUESS WHAT......
I WOULDNT EVEN TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ATTACK.
