Jane Lake and North Korea
Here we go again! Why do other countries like to taunt us and the rest of the world with their usually empty threats? It is like they are a baby brother that wants to see how far they can push their older siblings before they get punched.
If history tells us anything, then this will turn into economic sanctions,inspections, UN rhetoric, and Presidential huffing and puffing.
What we need to do is find a new approach. How do we avoid going down the same garden path that we did with Iraq? How do we avoid ever talking about war or contemplating military action?
President Carter succeeded in getting the hostages released in Iran. I say send him to North Korea and start talking turkey. Maybe we should offer helping them economically if they cease and desist rather than threaten them.
I am no brainiac, but I can see when a bad pattern is developing!
Surprisingly :) you make some excellent points.

While the baby brother enjoys teasing his elder siblings, the big brother, however, utterly loves to be the bully, a hardheaded teenage yob, who instead of talking the matter through, and in doing so trying to pave the way for further agreements, he will very probably opt to bomb the place down…
Thanks for the comment. Great blog!

North Korea. It's almost as if Bush tempted Iran and N. Korea to threaten us when he mentioned them back in that State of the Union speech some years ago.
LOVE THE PAY PAL IDEA! ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS AND BRILLIANT! I MUST ADD SOMETHING SIMILAR TO MEE BLOG NOW!

Appeasement rewards the aggressor and only makes him increase his demands. We must not negotiate with terrorists.
The Iraq solution would not work with North Korea, the scale of conflict would be far greater. Just war requires proportionality, that was the case in Iraq, but would not be in Korea.

screw the analogies, weve helped them financially, only to watch them use the monies in building their military and starving their own people, our mistake was to let it go this long to get to where it is today. like a festering sore the longer you let it go the worse it becomes.
