By the way, isn't the use of sanctions (and nothing else) how North Korea got to be a nuclear power in the first place?

Can't wait to see how the Iran sanctions play out. Anybody want to give me odds for a bet on a nuclear Iran?

I agree with Israel and believe 'that cow has already left the barn'

your criticism is misdirected. s. korea is (appropriately) taking the lead in the response to the sinking of their ship.

do you suggest we bomb n. korea because they sank a s. korean ship? how does that play out for s. korea?

if we aren't going to follow the s. korean lead, what should we do?

I don't think we should bomb anyone regarding this. We should have said to the world we have S. Korea's back when they undoubtedly retaliate. Period! F' the U.N.! What are they going to do restrict food imports? The people of N. Korea are brainwashed victims of Jong who could care less about them. Jong individually and/or his military needs to be attacked not the people.

I don't follow. You expect me to point out glaring inconsistencies that you create within single posts?

I guess that's flattering. I have always been a pretty good reader. Thanks!

why cause I expect S.Korea to 'man up' and fight knowing we will back them but not directly involve ourselves?

s. korea isn't going to attack the north. the end game for any war on that peninsula is the destruction of seoul followed by the collapse of n. korea.

s. korea couldn't deal with the flood of refugees that come after the n. korean regime is gone even if they weren't dealing with several hundred thousand dead and a ruined economy.

you should be thankful that we have grown ups making the decisions. it's a better world than the one that would exist if people actually did what you suggest.

No kidding.

Even though the Bush/Cheney administration seriously bungled a number of foreign policy decisions, they are truly a bunch of diplomatic geniuses compared to much of the conservative peanut gallery in the DT politics room.

Speaking of conservatives, I've learned here that Rand Paul isn't far right He just fooled everyone here in KY.

Now, there's a guy who's had a tough three days.

I side with Israel too, and that's one of the many reasons that I vote Republican.

What's interesting is that everyone who proposes sanctions, and only sanctions (this includes some Republicans), knows that they WON'T WORK. Therefore those same individuals are OK with doing nothing, since doing nothing is the functional equivalent of sanctions.

Does anyone think our security is well served by people with this attitude?

Seriously what can be done about N Korea? The reality is nothing because this has been allowed to fester for so long. Iran is a much bigger problem.

I always said we should've let Iran and Iraq duke it out and took on the winner.
