There's much saber-rattling against the U.S. these days--and it's understandable. After our irrational, unprovoked invasion of Iraq, no one feels safe. And given the size and strength of the U.S. military, nuclear weapons are the great equalizer.
Why are N. Korea and Iran leading the charge? Check out a history book. America attacked both of these countries in the past, even though they posed no threat to us. After bombing the hell out of the place, President Truman actually considered nuking some N. Korean cities (!).
Iran was our first "regime change." We overthrew a democratically elected president bent on reforming his country, and replaced him with one of the most brutal dictators in modern history.
Is it any wonder that these countries have no love for the U.S.?
By the way: If it were up to me, the punks currently running both of these countries would immediately have their birth certificates revoked. It's a shame that we have given despicable tyrants like Kim Jong-Il and Ahmadinejad so much legitimate fuel for their anti-American campaigns.
