Just because I don't believe in an afterlife doesn't mean I'm in any hurry to become nothing. Besides that war probably wouldn't cause immediate death for some people. There could be prolonged suffering that would last generations.
If we didn't wait for Iraq to actually pull some shit before we deposed Hussein, there's no fucking way we're going to wait on N. Korea with the WLB in the White House. So that's a two-fold asinine assumption on the part of theists, that they have an afterlife to look forward to (or three-fold if they assume it's going to be pleasant) and that anyone but North Koreans should be worried about some shit going down.
But yeah N.Korea is a gnat compared to us. We could take them out without using Nukes if we wanted to. But using Nukes on them could screw up the environment and mess up sources of food and water for our allies.
I think theists are a little more likely to fall for the propogand "It's ok, they're the enemy, they aren't like us."
