What does North Korea do after we attack Iran?
Bush named North Korea as part of the "Axis of Evil". After we attack Iran, Kim Jong Il has to figure that he's next. Even if we don't have any plans to attack NK, from their point of view it would seem logical.

Just curious, what are the chances that North Korea and Iran have signed some sort of secret defense pact? With the United States bogged down in Iraq and Iran, North Korea might feel emboldened to invade the south as a 'preemptive' measure.

1. Prepare.
They won't get attacked though. It has no real link to pipelines and international currency exchange.

2. I may know that - you may know that - but do THEY know that?
What worries me is what NK thinks we might do, not what we would actually do. If they think that we are going to attack them, they may decide to just take action first.

3. Worry about what China and/or Russia does
Don't they have treaties with Iran?

5. I could see them hitting Korea
They hate Korea for the same reason they hate Cuba. Regardless of what we think of the inner workings of these two countries, both of them have embarassed the US in the past and are closed markets...we know how much the neocons HATE closed markets! Korea would be an endless source of cheap labor and Cuba would be a tourist hot spot w/ cheap labor.If we think the resistance is bad in Iraq, I think the resistance in Cuba and Korea would be much stronger..
