This is a complex issue. Who has more to lose?
North Korea is poor and its people are not valued by Kim Jong Il.
Their intercontinental missiles can hit the entire west coast... do you risk losing California, if you are the US? That's 35 million people. A blow like that to the US could cripple not only them, but it could destabilize the world economy very severely.
... and who do I trust more? Neither. GWB has lied constantly throughout his presidency and is a complete numbskull. Kim Jong Il is crazy. It's a toss up.
