Axis of Evil (one down, two to go)
Well Iraq is dust. Now it looks as though Iran will be hit in at least a limited way VERY soon. It would only make sense that Korea, the final of the condemned nations will be next. There is a reason the elite in Washington want these three nations to fall and it has NOTHING to do with protecting US citizens.Iraq was about to switch to the Euro and has oil. The US has assurances from Saudi Arabia that they will not raise gas prices on us ever again like they did in the 70's..but we had no such assurances from Iraq and Iran. Iran also has oil and supports strong independance for middle eastern nations as opposed to bowing to the feet of foreign nations. They also MUST be punished for the Iranian revolution that threw out the US backed government. We NEVER forget when a country bucks our will and we seek to make examples of them.

Korea has a communist system and closed economy. It is one of the few nations that has not bowed to international business after the fall of the Soviet Union. DC wants to see these last few economies destroyed, hence the VICIOUS embargos and blockades on Korea all through the 90's until now. They also would be a source of cheap labor and foreign investment. Taking Korea would also give a strategic position right on China's border. DC is scared shitless of China. Also, watch for the US to use proxies such as S Korea and Israel. I honestly believe that unless Bush is impeached all three nations will be hit within the next year.

2. many have expressed
militant views towards Iran and the DPRK. also, Bush can send troops anywhere for up to 90 days..once this happens we would be in the same situation as now. They wouldn't want to "cut and run". More likely, there will be air campaigns and use of proxies like Israel and S Korea.

6. Forget N. Korea
There is no financial profit for the US to attack them; no OIL.

7. I disagree
Bush wouldn't have just thrown them in the mix and the US wouldn't be so vicious towards them for 50 years for no reason. There is the posiblity of cheap labor, destroying a non-capitalist system so that no one else gets any "ideas" and getting a strategic position on China's border.
