Default What to do about North Korea...?

Perhaps you should consider that protecting a country without
protecting its citizens is useles.


This is true. What is your point? We are not protecting the country
against terrorism by beating the hornet's nest with a baseball bat - our
Iraq debacle is utter folly. The nature of that problem is quite
different than the nature of the North Korea problem.

And no, I don't have a solution. I do know that for diplomacy to work,
our word must be good and our "big stick" must be credible and
effective. To be effective, it must be a stick we are willing to use,
and one we can get away with using.
