JL   (11.26.10)
obama and jimmy carter have it all under control
2. Too soft? - sounds familiar!
Avi ,   Geneva   (11.26.10)
The tolerance by S. Korea under Obama administration pressure towards N. Korean Stalinist state terrorism is eerily reminescent of the softness of Israel in the face of Hamas, Hizbullah, Iran, and PA terrorists, under pressure from the same Obama and other moronic ideological peace-at-any-price-niks. We should forcibly suppress all terrorism without hesitation or restraint.
3. Another form of Pearl Harbor ?
Nora Tel Aviv   (11.26.10)
The Evil Axis of today -like the WWII Axis-could divert Obama`s attetion to a North Korean assault on South Korea.,relieving tensions on Iran thus permitting a Hizballah overthrow of the weak Lebanese Government.) The Evil Axis of today (Iran-SyriaHizballah-Hamas and of course North Korea) can easily coordinate such a scenario.
4. Attacking a Nuclear Armed Power
Mark of Lewiston ,   Lewiston USA   (11.26.10)
Like it or not, North Korea is a nuclear power and has nuclear weapons. They went nuclear and tested their first bomb when Bush was President. And Kim Jong Il is not the most stable man running a country. How many nukes does the North have? Three? five? A dozen? They have 500,000 in active service in their army and have no overseas commitments. How many nuclear powers have been successfully attacked and invaded by foreign militaries?

David ,   Haifa Israel   (11.26.10)
the answer to your question is "none." Now tell me Mark... when are you going to blame israel for this mess? you know your and your anti semite friends are itching to blame us.... again... stick to anti israel german owned haaretz. YNet is not for anti semites like you.
6. Very very very interesting...
Mr Green ,   Manchester   (11.26.10)
To what extent is there an Ah MAD injejad (He of the Demented Entity) fingerprint in N Koreas actions? Perhaps Ill just pose the questions... To what extent is Ah MAD inejads generous private donations to the Sung Dynasty controlling events in the Peninsula? To what extent is there a silent anti US and West alliance between the two? Does this possible Alliance extend to simultaneous imminent military actions by Ah MAD inejad and his Hezbollah Gangsters in Lebanon, Bahrein Iraq and even Israel and actions in the Peninsula based on their assumption that the US could not handle both? That leaves Chavez - would he also throw in his lot with the gruesome twosome to cause a bit of mayhem, in S America too?
7. Every administration just kicks the can down the road
Claudia ,   Tampa, USA   (11.26.10)
If China wants to remain a trading partner of the US I think it is time for them to get control over these irrational morons. Neither Clinton or Bush did a thing about this meanwhile NK are selling everyone and his dog nukes and missile technology, including terrorists. Thanks a lot. Can't wait until one of our left coast or Alaskan cities gets a hit. Then maybe someone will take out these nutjobs that starve and subjugate their people.
8. North Korea
graczek ,   Maryland, USA   (11.26.10)
North Korean troops will soon come pouring across the so-called Demilitarized Zone and finish the job it was forced to suspend back in 1953. The attack will take about two weeks to complete and will be mainly a mopping-up operation, after which Korea will once more be united, and will truly be a nuclear power for all the world to fear.
9. 5 David from Haifa
Mark of Lewiston ,   Lewiston USA   (11.26.10)
I don't blame Israel at all for this situation. Should I? Have you, Like Sarah Palin mistaken the North for the the South of Korea? And Last I saw, one part owner of Haaretz was the International Herald Tribune, mostly owned by the New York Times. You might want to look into their ownership.
10. "graczek" a first: Only seen on Ynet,
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (11.26.10)
Haaretz and JPost, this proven demonizer of Israel and Jew hater now finds himself in love with a country, North Korea, which will be set on destroying western civilization including the country where he, "grazek", resides, or so he says. Where does this filth come from?
11. The US and S. Korear ARE at war with north korea, only there
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (11.26.10)
is a temporary armistice that has lasted quite a while. The US could quite easily destroy the nuke factories and missile facilities with conventional weapons and inform little boy that if he sends waves of troops they will be met with a nuke response. We only take this crap from little boy because obumma is a snot nosed child in crapped pants and can't lead America.
12. China must not be giving North Korea enough food for their
Rivkah   (11.26.10)
people, so they need to kill some off in a war. China is behind the attacks by North Korea since that is a puppet satellite State of China's.
13. Hey Bunnie...
Matt N. ,   Wisconsin, USA   (11.27.10)
Please remind me what Bush, or any other US president has done that Obama has not, as it relates to this situation? The fact is that the last thing the US needs is another war right now. The north koreans provoked bush and clinto, where was your calls for war then? Is the ones who have never served or seen war that are the ones who call for it first. Like your fellow "righties" in the US, you are probably a self righthous hipocrite and religious zealot hell bent on bringing on the end of days for your own selfish religious goals.
14. #5 - Mark is just silently rooting for Iran's nukes
William ,   Israel   (11.27.10)
using the lack of any real reaction to NK's State terror as an example.
15. #10 - I believe "graczek" is really Michael Moore
William ,   Israel   (11.27.10)
Notice the telltale signs of his postings - mindless rantings, an obsessive love for despots, a call for the "Communism" of the good ol' days, and demonization of anything Western or Capitalist. Look for his new movie under the same title about how the evil empire Dunkin' Donuts gave his fat ass diabetes.
16. #11 - all despots share one charcteristic
William ,   Israel   (11.27.10)
and that's the unwavering disregard for human beings, namely their own citizens. NK doesn't care about how many are really dying of malnutrition. Their focus is on maintaining this oppressive, dehumanizing regime of which this latest attack was a message. The US could easily take out NK's nukes and missile sites in 24 hours, but not before NK launches thousands of rockets at Seoul, killing hundreds of thousands on both sides. But NK doesn't care if everyone dies - as long as the regime lives on. Sounds a lot like Islamic rulers and terrorists, doesn't it?
17. graczek #5 take your medications
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (11.27.10)
North Korea hasn't advanced much since 1953. In fact half of their tanks and airplanes date from the 1950s. The ROK Army is nearly on par with the Israeli Army. It is rated as the 12th best in the world. The PRK has a very generous rating of 20th. Yes the war will last about 2-3 weeks. The ROK should be on the Yalu about then. And this time no US forces to bring the Chinese in.
18. #8,11,14,15 & 16 Morons all
Hal ,   Usa   (11.27.10)
You simpletons should form a club together. Did you guys ever go to school? Did you learn anything? Pull your collective heads out of eachother's asses and read a book or two thousand. No American president since th end of hostilities on the Korean peninsula in 1953 has done a damned thing to rein in the North Koreans. #8 You are either heroin addict or a retard. If anything like what you are suggesting happens, the North will cease to function as a state of anything. The B-2's will be there so fast your tiny head will spin. #11 only a fool and a complete dimwit [you] would lay this at Obama's feet. Can't blame this guy for everything. Your hero G W Bush did more pissing in his pants when the Chinese downed an American surveilance plane early in his presidency while he did absolutely nothing, but I guess you forgot that episode. He was such a genius that he removed Iran's greatest enemy, Saddam. Maybe you would be happier if that twit Sarah Palin was your god instead! #15 Are you on quaaludes? Michael Moore? What are they putting in your donuts, baloney? Like I said, you junior intellectuals ought to get together and form a society or a gang or just get the hell lost. Stupid MFers
