North Korea's Iran

North Korea, like Iran, supposedly has Nuclear weapons. North Korea, like Iran, is feared by the U.S. North Korea, like Iran, are places that, out of fear, Republicans feel like we need to bomb.
God, has anybody learned anything from Pearl Harbor? Or even our Atom Bomb droppings on Japan?
Bombing just keeps everything going, in fact it makes the feud between those countries worse.
If we bomb them, they are more likely to bomb us.
If we bomb them, they see us as cowards.
Also, let me explain the physics of this, we think that they have Nuclear Weapons, so we get Nuclear Weapons, and we bomb them. Makes perfect sense, right?
Wrong.
If we drop a few Nukes on them, and let me just point out, that we don't know if they have Nuclear Weapons, and we're just assuming, 'cause, y'know, all Muslims are Terrorists.
Right now, there is about an 100% chance that no, they don't have Nuclear Weapons. But just to be sure, we should assume that that 0% is right, and go in, spend 10 billion dollars a month (and they wonder why our debt is so large), realize that there aren't any, but they'll still stay in Iran, to make sure that they aren't making non-existing Nuclear Weapons (and yes, "Iraqi Road" still wasn't enough).
But back to the point, if we bomb them, we are imposing a threat that is doesn't exist, we need to have Iran see us as a good country. Charitable, forgiving, and genuine.
If we bomb them, we are bad people.
To them, to the world, and to me.
How do we do this?
We give aid.
Iran has a lot of people in need of Aid, and if Ahmadinejad sees that we are supplying aid, it will change our image, slightly at first, but later, by a significant margin.
Also, we half to do it sincerely.
If we don't do it sincerely, and Ahmadinejad knows that, he'll just think that we are trying to suck up.

Kim Jong's Ill

Kim Jong Il, current dictator of North Korea, and who is right now suffering from Pancreatic cancer, is a man with many, many problems.
First of all, it's not huge in population, it has about 22 million people, meaning that it has about five million more people than the largest city in it's current rival, South Korea.
There was once just one Korea, but then, there was the Korean War.
They say that around the time when the Korean war started, the new and green Cold War suddenly turned up a notch, and went up to a bloody, explosive war that is the Cold War.
The Korean war started with a sudden invasion of what is now South Korea from North Korea.
North Korea wanted it's own government, the people in North Korea decided that the idea of communism was a better idea than the Korean Democracy.
And the U.S. sided with South Korea, which means that now, North Korea hates us.
But, if that were today, the North Korean people would almost definitely go with South Korea.
Right now, in North Korea, people cannot go over the border to South Korea, or they would be killed.
In fact, the people in North Korea cannot leave any country that is not an ally of North Korea, the only countries that aren't enemies of North Korea are Russia, China, or maybe Cuba.
Two of those four countries listed there are the only two countries that people in the U.S.A. can not go to.
Kim Jong Il is pretty much the dictator of dictators of this generation. (Yes, I know. Even bigger than Obama) He has cut off his country from the rest of the world, North Korea now has way more enemies than they have allies, and he lets his country live in poverty while he spends the countries money on himself, the military, (there, mostly nuclear missiles), and tourist attraction (when he does let people into his country, he puts on huge celebration, in order to possibly get more residents).
About two years ago, the New York Philharmonic Orchestra played a concert in North Korea, where they were greeted by a warm audience.
That may have been more than just a concert, that may have been one of the best opportunities in the history of the U.S.-North Korean rivalry for making up.
It could very strongly benefit for our making up.
In the end, Kim Jong Il needs to be de-throned.
