im south korean and im familiar with the situation in north korea. this problem will not be solved easily, in recent news, the US stated that they would bomb north korea nuclear plants if they had nuclear war heads, and that is not the way to do it. its very ironic how the US wants to fight violence with more violence. North Korea is a 3rd w.orld country with nothing to lose. if their communist country is gonna go down, they will take as many countries as they could with them. i think the best solution now is to keep negotiating with them. the US is being very arrogant by stating that the north koreans should back down because the US can just simply bomb them. north korea has nothing to lose, the US, south korea, and japan have everything to lose if they are going to be bombed.
