North Korea's Air Force and The Bomb

All power plants and switching stations that send power to
their nuclear factories should be bombed

Note that I considered that. NK is so backward, do they
even have a sewage system?

There was an interesting OpEd piece in the Oct 12 NYTimes. It claims that
N. Korea should not be properly viewed as "Stalinist" (ie. the "atheist"
designation is incorrect).

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/12/opinion/12myers.html

...

This sort of cultural profiling, however, can get us into real danger.
Japan’s emperor during World War II, Hirohito, was neither religious
nor suicidal, and he led his nation into a war that no rational leader
could have hoped to win. The point is relevant, because although
journalists persist in calling North Korea a Stalinist state, its
worldview is far closer to that of fascist Japan.

...

I cannot speak to the accuracy of the piece, but it was interesting
reading.

I don't believe it is that simple. They've some incredibly large number
of artillery pieces pointed at S. Korea. That is how N. Korea would
respond to any attack, which is why S. Korea has been wasting so much time
trying to deal.

Effectively, they're hostages.

Similarly, as someone else here pointed out, China is more afraid of
refugees from N. Korea than anything else. At least at the moment,
they've no reason to fear being the target of Kim Jong-il weapons.

[Though personally, I'd worry about where he might point them in the
future were I in China's place.]

My God, that is heart-breaking.

Well, as NYTimes ComSymp William Duranty said, "You've got to break some
eggs if you want to make an omelet".

Whether Hirohito did much leading except as a figurehead is debatable. The
military fascists--Tojo in particular--pretty much had their way with him.

I agree that the N. Korean regime is only nominally Stalinist. Ideology is
not something they care about, and neither did Stalin, really. He purged all
the commie true believers and replaced them with his henchmen and toadies,
just as the Kims have done in N. Korea.

You presume that the Chinese leadership gives a crap if a couple million of
their citizens are affected by nuclear fallout. It takes a lot more than
that to scare them.

The Beijing cabal may be smarter than Kim Jong Il, but they take a back seat
to no one in their cynical disregard for anything that does not line their
pockets or further their ambitions in the region.

They are working this crisis for all it's worth to turn it to their
advantage. Look for them to try to get some kind of diplomatic concessions
in exchange for bringing pressure on N. Korea. If I were the Taiwanese, I'd
be sweating.

Yep, there are a lot of us loons here :-)

When did we attack Iran?
Attacking Iraq got Libya to surrender several ship loads of
nuke weapons materials to the USA. It is better to strike
preemptively than to wait till they can put up a "fair
fight" the object is victory and not stalemate.

Haven't you been watching CNN? :-)

In that case, we should be attacking Venezuala, Russia, China, Iran,
Syria, which one's did I forget?
