          15-25 % sounds like a reasonable estimate...

            76% of America agree with me on the war on Iraq.

                I think North Koreas making sure it get the attention of the US - flattering, in a way.

                Sloww - Congress? You gotta think big!

                    Highly implausible. No country in the region will allow the US to do such a thing. If the US presses on regardless, just like what it is doing now, say goodbye to whatever left of US influence in the region. The RoK base will be definitely kicked out, and Japan won't take this kindly, either.

                    From where? Out of your rectum? Where will the US stage the troops? RoK? Japan? Both extremely unlikely.

                    With what? The US is having a bit of a problem with Iraq now, and that's with nice staging areas and bases in the region. As DanS pointed out, the US military strength has consistently been vastly overstated.

                    Have you gone insane? The second that Japan has a remote possibility of building nuclear weapons, every other country in that region will lay down their differences to put a swift end to this. Even Russia may join in.

                        How absurd; no one can prevent Japan from getting nukes if they really want them. China better lean on North Korea real quick, unless they want a nuclear rival in East Asia...

                            They don't, but an increasing nuclear threat from North Korea has the potential to change their mind.

                              Don't bet on it! Both Russia and China have had beefs with Japan since WWII. If they went nuclear, they'd both go ballistic. There would be a very real possibility of war in the region in order to prevent that, especially from the Chinese. No way in hell would they stand for that.

                              Not that it would ever happen, the Japanese would never go nuclear. They've lost to many people to the bomb already, they would never risk it again.
