Again we are at the old chestnut, we can have them, but others can't. The US, and Russia had the Cold war for many years, and were on the brink at one point, yet no-one says lets destroy them, or they are the enemy, and lets invade/sanction, etc. The hypocricy we have nowadays is unreal.

We can have them because we live in a democracy, and can hold our government accountable for their actions.

North Koreans can't.

Oh, thats funny, cos I thought the UK was massivly against the war with Iraq, and yet we still went.

indeed...a choice of 3 or more boxes to tick every couple of years is frankly..shit..and the political party`s mostly get behind the leaders...otherwise they are not going far up the ladder ..

Come off it. They want nukes, and they fire missiles over Japan. Given half a chance they'd invade and conquer Sourth Korea (and more besides). They hate the West and see us as an enemy. Indulging them would be foolish.

Do they? They are an isolationist nation. They couldn't give a hoot what others did, as long as it does not effect them. All this sabre rattling from the west has brought this on. Exactly where does it say NK hate the west? Where do you get the idea that they would go on a conquering spree??

NK were given aid on the condition that they didn't develop nuclear technology, they broke that condition, aid was stopped, and somehow the West are the bad guys?

You tell me why an isolationist nation are building weapons of mass destruction?

Same reason we (UK) have them - deterrent. NK want a piece of that action.

amazing isn't it.

on PH if someone suggested giving thugs a brand new gun with ammunition, you'd all be jumping up and down saying "you can't do that". but here we have a thug of a country wanting to get nuclear weapons - but thats OK.

heaven forbid the argument that there is no real reason for them having nuclear weapons in the first place - i mean - who exactly are they going to protect themselves against? did anyone actually give a f*ck about this insignifanct back water in the world in the first place?

Why are they a thug of a nation? What thuggish actions have they perpetrated? Currently thuggish nations in the world are USA, UK, Israel, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, perhaps Iran.

Also, why do we (the UK) need nuclear weapons? Who are we going to protect ourselves against? I don't see why the same argument doesn't apply to NK.

you make it so easy for those who would do you in.

I think the US/UK, et al are more dangerous than NK will ever be.

Let's hope it stays that way.

NK does not want nuclear weapons to protect itself. It wants nuclear weapons so that it can hold its neighbours to ransom.

To sell them. NK's only export is weapons sales.

Good point; I think our ally in Pakistan is the guy hiding behind the palace walls, not the country. IMHO, India is more trustworthy.
