I was just wondering what you think.... I have become absorbed in the news lately because of the instability of the world and it really has become a very scary place.. or really I guess it has been all along, but I have just started paying attention to it....

Regardless the unrest in Iran and the rioting in China are today's biggest news stories..... but I cannot stop thinking about the dangers that Iran and North Korea are nuclear...... I am not sure which is worse.... what do you think?

Yes,the world has become a dangerous place since today the nuclear powers who possess weapons which can destroy the world a hundred times, if not even more, find that certain countries who have recently become nuclear are under the threat of terroists. Terrorism is the most dangerous development of the century and since they can strike anywhere in the world,countries with nuclear weapons feel vulnerable and are afraid that their weapons could fall into their hands. You have mentioned Iran and N. Korea, but what about Pakistan which is fighting to ward off the most dangerous Al Qaeda and Taliban forces who have openly threatened to acquire the nuclear weaponry in possession of Pakistan. If, God forbid such a thing would happen, the entire world is in peril.

oh I realize there are other threats but I am sure of the high danger in those cases... I was wondering about North Korea and Iran because I can't decide between them which is worse.... thanks for the comment.

Yup. Better start diggin for fall out shelters.

Iranians can still be reasoned out. But North Korea? Bigger threat. Kim there thinks he's god, so i doubt any reasonable negotiation can be done. Moreover, remember he's holding a CNN correspondent "hostage."

God knows...

I wish "Superman V" movie is real. That way, ol' Christopher Reeves will just collect every nuke and crammy and shove it up to the sun.


myLot reputation of 88/100. amanda08 (294)   ranked 2,041 out of 38,550 in life  6 months ago

lol... yeah too bad about the Superman thing.... too bad... yeah I dunno what Kim's problem is... he is very paranoid though.... and I hope those reporters are okay over there... they say they just heard from them again and they are asking for government help... poor things! Yes I agree I think that North Korea is the more unstable of the two. thanks for the comment

Hi, amanda.
Your concern is right. The world is facing a great danger of a nuclear war and if this happens, there will be nothing left this time.
There are a few countries who seem to be crossing their lines. Iran gathered heaps of nuclear power but does not seem to be willing to use it in nonesense.
But, N. Korea is certainly looking to increase its reputation in the world power war that poses a big danger.
By the way, you can only anticipate but can not tell what are their policies.


myLot reputation of 88/100. amanda08 (294)   ranked 2,041 out of 38,550 in life  6 months ago

Yes I think I agree with you about North Korea... they are more dangerous. Thanks for the comment!

Hello Amanda, I will say any country who has a dodgy administration and have a nuclear weapon is dangerous. So that way, both Iran and Korea are dangerous. Everyone understands how destructive a nuclear bomb is, but many countries still like to build up their artillery with such dangerous weapons is a very sad and frightening fact.


myLot reputation of 88/100. amanda08 (294)   ranked 2,041 out of 38,550 in life  6 months ago

I am sorry that anyone even feels the need to develop these weapons... but the world is just that way in these times I guess.....

I think every Nuclear country is a threat to the peace and well being of others and even itself on this earth .

A complete disarmament is a must for us .


myLot reputation of 97/100. agv0419 (2427)   ranked 2,745 out of 38,550 in life  6 months ago

I also worried about the nuclear threat of North Korea because we also going to be affected of it. Even if we are not directly affected of it because we are far from North Korea we still in Asia. South Korea is really affected of it and they soldier is not enough to protect them. That's why the government obligate the men there to serve in the military. US is watching it so I'm now at peace and secured.


myLot reputation of 88/100. amanda08 (294)   ranked 2,041 out of 38,550 in life  6 months ago

AGV I am glad that you feel that way about the US.. even though I know our country is watching hem very closely, it is still scary that these weapons even have to exist.... I wish our world were more peaceful!!!

Okay lets consider the world in a broad view
What about Israel
"Atomic Iraq is a Threat to the World"
where are the weapons gone after the war, they all vanished in air
One of my brothers mentioned on net Pakistan as a threat
Brother, you are also atomic power but I don't blame anyone
its everyone's right to make necessary arrangements for its safety
Pakistan Atomic Weapons and Technology are totally safe
There had been cases of theft from Us atomic plants but never from Pakistan.
Terrorism?
Think it more than once?
Do you believe the bloody politician who just want money and power
Do you believe the newspapers who are in the hands of POWERS
Do you believe the Secret Agencies of any country
Than for God's sake show me the atomic weapons of Iraq
Show me a single but true proof of 9/11 by Taliban
Taliban and Al-Qaeda are different
Us created Al-Qaeda themselves against USSR and when they no more needed them, they killed Hundreds of thousands of innocent people most of which were child.
Those who resisted just defended their country and that was their right
Was it not a fair deal?
Hundreds died in 9/11 -two countries attacked and destroyed
Millions died in two countries-The GLOBAL VILLAGE, UN, INTERNATIONAL POWERS, HUMAN RIGHTS NGOs, all are silent, WHY?
They need fund to run, Who provides them? US.
Geological survey shows huge quantity of OIL in the land of Afghanistan and IRAQ
US controls OPAC and now owns Afghanistan and Iraq
US owns The BLACK GOLD
Do whatever you can
Just nothing
Sit back
Watch TV
Read newspaper
Listen Interviews and false satements
Believe
You did nothing to save the innocents CHILDS
Are YOU NOT MURDERERS?


myLot reputation of 88/100. amanda08 (294)   ranked 2,041 out of 38,550 in life  6 months ago

I am sorry that you believe this hatred against the United States of America.... we are a strong, proud, united country who simply reacted to the horrible attack on our soil which had not been deserved in the least bit. It killed thousands... it was meant to take out our most powerful military officers and chief advisors and even the President of our country... but some of the Courageous Proud American passengers on one of the planes thankfully kept that from happening...

THOUSANDS of our families lost loved ones that day... THOUSANDS of our children lost their fathers or mothers that day..... our sisters and brothers innocently slain in cold blood...... how do you think we should have reacted?! By ignoring it and waiting for it to happen again?..... at least when we fight we only TRY to kill the people shooting the guns at us (so to speak)........

Our country reacted to this attrocious act of cold blood from greedy terrorists trying to rule the world (good luck with the United States and it's allies around!!)


I cannot believe there are people in the world like you. The United States of America uses its power to protect....not to terrorize..... And Also we do not own Iraq's oil.... our oil prices in the states are ridiculous!!!!! The reason the terrorists are there is for the oil... not the United States!!!! Iraq owns the oil of course, and they will use their wealth to rebuild their country as a free country.....AS IT SHOULD BE.... LET FREEDOM RING..... I won't even bother thanking you for your comment.

Ha Ha wow! If you are going to come here and talk trash about our great country of America then maybe you should recheck some facts. If no one from Taliban were involved in 9/11 and Americans made Al-Qaeda how do you explain that videos that were made taking great pride in the terrorist attacks that were made that day?!
Hundreds did not die, THOUSANDS died, including children and innocent people here too! I suggest that you take a lesson in respect for another human and thier lives. You are proving that you are an uncaring, hateful man like you have claimed that Americans are! And it is not childs it is children. If we are murderers for defending our great land then I guess so be what you think. We DID NOT start this, we didn't set up terrorist attacks upon our own country. I think that you should check yourself and your beliefs, because you are being quite a hyprocrite!!!

I agree

 
8. myLot reputation of 81/100. skysuccess (2440)   ranked 1,673 out of 38,550 in life   6 months ago

amanda08,

I must say that both threats are equally big and ill afford to be overlooked. Just a launch at either parties will have heavy and dire consequences WORLDWIDE.

However, I do feel that there is literally much hype from the developed countries especially from their neighboring countries where they fear of an impending war happening. Forgetting that things can be settled with diplomacy and fair negotiations. I am sure no one would like to go into a war when the devastation and price is just too high.

I hope that the parties involved will be able to reach a truce and avoid any armed conflict at the end of the day.


myLot reputation of 88/100. amanda08 (294)   ranked 2,041 out of 38,550 in life  6 months ago

I also hope that there are truces made with no war.... we need more PEACE NOT NUCLEAR WEAPONS!!!!!


myLot reputation of 81/100. skysuccess (2440)   ranked 1,673 out of 38,550 in life  6 months ago

lolWell, I think the swine flu would be taking precedence today as it seems to be continuing to spread.

Just where are the travel advisories?


myLot reputation of 88/100. amanda08 (294)   ranked 2,041 out of 38,550 in life  6 months ago

so many people are worried more about the swine flu than the regular seasonal flu. I just do not understan this... I do realize we have not built up immunities towards the swine flu yet and also that we do not have a readily available vaccine for the swine flu yet... but the same goes for many of the strains of the seasonal flu... and it is also a leading cause of death worldwide....the flu is worrisome... it does not matter twhat type it is...

 
9. Dinny20 (48)   ranked 22,005 out of 38,550 in life   6 months ago

I think is the nuclear of North Korea because a few time ago they have build 9 rockets and appears many times in the news but in Iran they are more rich than the north koreans thanks to the petrol, so Iran can build more threats to our world


myLot reputation of 88/100. amanda08 (294)   ranked 2,041 out of 38,550 in life  6 months ago

thanks so muchfor your comment... I hope that we are able to all come together without the use of weapons someday...

Iran,north korea and america are all big threats to world peace.


myLot reputation of 78/100. prasanth_s (731)   ranked 9,308 out of 38,550 in life  6 months ago

pakistan too.


myLot reputation of 88/100. amanda08 (294)   ranked 2,041 out of 38,550 in life  6 months ago

you are another who is against America huh?.. well I am not going to argue as I am an American and I have finally figured out that ignorance is what causes people to hate our beautiful FREE country... much peace to you in all you do...


myLot reputation of 78/100. prasanth_s (731)   ranked 9,308 out of 38,550 in life  6 months ago

I wonder why would america attack poor countries like Iraq if it is such a great country?


myLot reputation of 88/100. amanda08 (294)   ranked 2,041 out of 38,550 in life  6 months ago

you are sadly mistaken or misinformed.... Iraq is MUCH richer than the United States.... we suffer from a TRILLION dollar national debt while Iraq experiences ecessive surplus in their budget..... we are a POWERFUL country but yet we are a BROKE country..... we are spending more than we are bringing in because of the war in Iraq...... the people in Iraq celebrated because they knew we did not mean them harm, but only meant to free them from their torturous leader.... and we succeeded at that.... the terrorists who continually suicide bomb across the country must be fought back against..... we are doing what we can to take out terrorists but we do this with other nations help.... these nations are not a group which terrorizesthe world... we are a group that works to make the world a safer place.....I am sorry that you received some bad information somewhere.
