Woah....how wrong you are. China pushed back the UN forces and saved North Korea during the Korean War.

Very good solution, Paradox you will end all global conflicts and disputes.

The whole problem with Israel comes down to "Should the Jewish people have a homeland even though this would force the Palestinians out?"

Things Kim Jong Il would lose if he started a nuclear war with the US:
1. His country
2. His power
3. His freedom (because his going to get arrested and imprisoned for something)

I doubt China would be directly involved in any conflict over North Korea. China won't side with USA, officially that is, and China would lose a lot of money if they went to war with USA. And China doesn't actually gain much in it's relationship with North Korea, but North Korea is still China's ally.

It would have been better (for the North Koreans) if the missile succeeded and we were all scared sh*tless

Anarchism depends on the people. If the people all believed in anarchism/communism then any authority figure policing the people won't be corrupt. But then human nature kicks in, some of the police would want more power then they become corrupt. So anarchism won't work because not everyone would get brainwashed into believing in anarchism.
