North Korea-What should be done?

Yeah I was more talking to this post:

It's the fact that as soon as they develop the technology, they will be selling it to anyone who wants one. Can you imagine Bin Laden in control of a nuke? You saw what a few planes did, imagine a huge ass bomb. We need to show them that we are serious, destroy their enriching facilities, and take that bastard out of power. Do we learn anything from history? It's not like they are trying to develop it for energy. Look at who they associate with. Our enemies. Pacifism will eventually destroy this country.

That is what I think we should do, is have China and Russia work this one out. And if they can't/won't then we need the rest of the free world to get a plan to start buying less from those countries until they do. An economic manipulation would work much better than a military one.

That is exactly what we should do, leave it to the Chinese and Russians. NOT. They are the ones who have been selling the technology for NK to continue their nuclear objectives. We need to take action before it's too late. It's not going to matter when we're all dead because we depended on somebody else to take care of us.

That is really paranoid. You really think that we would get hurt from this? They would go after S Korea first, have to leapfrog japan to get to us. And we are watching them.

If we attack them, they have 1 million troops ready to attack S Korea just on the other side of the border.

And if Russia wanted them to become a nuclear power, they have the leftover nukes to just sell them those. This is not our fight. And if people would finally get it, trying to control another country through force has never worked for very long. And it always hurts the country that is trying to do it.

This may sound bad, but by allowing Europe to fight its own war against Germany and Italy, we came out smelling like roses. We were able to play the role of saviors and gained a lot of good press over there. Not to mention the economic benefits.

With Germany and the rest of Europe (not to mention Japan) in ruins and broke from fighting the wars we were able to dominate economically for the next few decades while they rebuilt. We may have had a much different position now if we had jumped in with both feet right away.

Actually, it was Stalin (who was in cahoots with Hitler originally) that came out smelling like a rose and with the most spoils.

Almost 300,000 U.S. soldiers killed.
Over one million wounded.

If you don't count losing 20 MILLION soviets along the way..... they did not come out smelling like a rose.... it smelled of corpses. One of many reasons why Russia is IMPLODING population wise today.
