      If the US attempts to use force against DPRK, it is gambling with *hundreds of thousands* of American lives. Please take this seriously.

          Curious whether the person who runs that site is checking IPs, and has noticed any interesting traffic from overseas in the last month.

          What's also amazing is, there are more intelligent foreign policy comments on this thread than I've heard from Pres. Putz' administration.

          Not to forget that the DPRK could cause horrendous devastation in Seoul without nukes, just with their artillery.
