Maybe switch to decaf, man. You're awful jittery.
lol...prob should. But you know if Iran keeps it up or is looking for confrontation it will happen. Thats the scary thing.
See North Korea is different I think. Even though we are still at war with North Korea technically...theres more to play there.
China wouldn't allow us to attack N. Korea to end all this for once and for all and get rid of the dictator...too close to China. The amount of refuges and the thought of US presence on China's border in that fashion would make them nervous. Plus the fact if confrontation happend they would attack our friends South Korea in retailiation. Seoul is just over the border. Too complicated there.
Now Iran is different. We are on both its borders right now. With Nato in Afghanistan and US and Britain, and some other countries to the west in Iraq. It would be much easier to take military action if need be than in N. Korea.
So if things got out of hand I believe they could escalate much faster in Iran. We have 200,00+ soldiers and carriers and equipment right there.
I doubt it would happen anytime soon, but you never know.
