There really isn't much argument over the NK issue, unlike Iraq.
Did that stop the US government from war with Spain, when Spain had no ability to attack America?

Did that stop Woodrow Wilson from putting US warships within a combat zone, and declaring war after a British passenger liner loaded with ordnance was sunk?

Did that stop the US government from entering any other war in which profits were to be made for the connected few?

The answer to all is NO.

As long as the ruling elite that controls the US government has nothing to lose, and sufficient cannon fodder from chumps and the sons and daughters of chumps to depend upon to die for them, these actions will continue.
