North Korea needs to be taken seriously. The Dear Leader is young and inexperienced and just might launch a nuke whereas his father and grandfather would just saber rattle. Don't forget the damage caused by an Electro-magnetic Pulse, EMP. As a retired EE with the DOD, I am familiar with these. an atom bomb detonated in the sky, sets off and EMP, and knocks aout all electrical and electronic devices. We are so dependent on computers, planes would fall from the sky, cars would stop driving and there would be no lights, no phones, no motorcars.

Saber rattling I suspect. It did happen right before a UN vote. Hmmmmm.

I recall being at a military might seminar (several years ago) and a general presenting made mention that as long as there were grey headed military in charge there would not be a nuclear war as they understaood the impact and devastation. And that as these grey haired leaders continued to be replaced by younger and younger generations who never spent a day in their lives at war, the more likely there would be one to push the button. And now with more than one generation of youngsters coming of age who know NOTHING of war exept on their game boy or 'X' box, war, specifically nuclear war becomes more likely)

Add to the above a a couple of generations of wacko like the North Koreans have had and now one that only has no idea what war is all about, the fact they have no regard for human life what so ever, with the world as his stage, with his imbicillyc rhetoric trumpeted around the world by the lame scream media......he certainly is stupid enough to believe what he says.....because the gray haired mentors who knew and understood even in North Korea are gone.

Yes he is likely to TRY what he says and will have his moment of fame only to join the masses he will have killed before he is eradicated.
