The reports make it clear that most civilians, by far, were killed by other Iraqis. Two of the worst days of the war came on Aug. 31, 2005, when a stampede on a bridge in Baghdad killed more than 950 people after several earlier attacks panicked a huge crowd, and on Aug. 14, 2007, when truck bombs killed more than 500 people in a rural area near the border with Syria.edit on 25-11-2012 by Clisen33 because: (no reason given)

Nov 23 (Reuters) - North Korea, under heavy U.N. sanctions for its nuclear weapons programme, could be preparing a long-range ballistic missile test, a Japanese newspaper said on Friday, citing officials who have seen U.S. intelligence analysis.

I believe SK/NK would always be the next large scale, conventional, war. and blowing up their long range missile, which US/Japan have an obligation to shoot down would maybe set NK off.
BUT... The No-Dong missiles (lol) always fail, hard.

Hate, bigotry, that leaves anti-........... you guys are quick. Next time address where I am wrong instead of what I am, because what I am has nothing to do with the facts I said.
So many side tracking words to blind the fact that you the US kills more people than anyone else and has more death machines than anyone else. So this thread makes no sense at all unless you are congratulating the NK for testing new missiles that are old to you. This idea here is crazy, but hear me out. Leave other countries alone, stop spying on them so you can scare yourselves in to "defense", its getting old now. Stop war mongering, its unbecoming and unsettling for other nations. They know have to increase defense budgets or fall under the wings of bigger countries just in case the US comes calling to quench its blood lust.

Don't worry I doubt they will kill as many civilians or invade as many nations has the US has, so if its civilian death records you are worried about the US is leading with just Iraq alone at 1 million. In case you are wondering as well since you threw Japan in there, I doubt NK will out do Hiroshima and Nagasaki, so that US record is safe.

Your Iraqi claim is known to be bogus but even with that bogus figure added to the real Hiroshima and Nagasaki numbers North Korea which caused the Korean conflict when they invaded the South were actually still higher....
Total combined Civilian Causalities
Total civilians killed/wounded: 2.5 million (est.)
Total combined Military Casualties.
Total: 928,951 dead
Total: 28,683 missing
Total wounded: 1,339,000

The only thing stopping the NK is the US. Funny how you don't mention that. If NK had the ability to wipe out SK they would. They threaten to on an almost daily basis.
How many of those civilian deaths are caused by terrorists in Iraq? There have been a few, but very few only, instances of negligence by the US in Iraq.

Better than simply regurgitating bogus figures by pulling them out of your backside

Oh lawd I didn't see that top part, I can't figure out whether to actual give a real response or an lololol. Either you think NK is stupid, South Korea are a bunch of pansies, or the US doesn't like to see its soldiers alive.

It makes sense to people who are not war mongers.
1. NK hasn't bothered anyone and minds its own business
2. SK has more than enough fire power to hold NK back, and they know that NK is not stupid enough to attack them for no reason "just because". It hasn't happened and will not happen, stop war mongering.
Leave NK alone, now excuse me while I go through red cross, amnesty international, and other on the ground people to tell me how many have died in these wars. Lol wikipedia, freaking wikipedia made me look like a moron vs a holocaust denier.
