North Korea's Air Force and The Bomb

Jay,

In pondering why we (the US -- and the World) haven't responded more
forcefully to the North Korean nuclear tests


Because "force" has proven to be a very inefficient answer lately, e.g.
in Afghanistan and Iraq?

Bribes and appeasement have been complete failures.

So, which is better?

We are using restrained force and granting safe terrorist
havens "because" there might be children hurt.

So what should we do? Nothing? That seems to be the United Nation's
current "strategy"...but I don't see much hope in that approach.

Given sufficient time they will simply implode, like the Soviet Union.
The end will be prolonged as long as they are nurtured and enabled by
China or anyone else.

You're assuming that the Koreans will go out with a wimper, like the
Soviets.

That's a pretty big gamble.

Starving people are a mob. That's why the rescue helicopter
hover 50 feet up and drop food. A starving country might do
anything. Remember this guy kidnaps under-age teenage girls
all over the world to be HIS sex slaves.

We can prevent them from ever being able to nuke Seattle or
Portland, but they can get satisfaction from killing a
million Americans. We can do out thing to them as I have
described with just enough dead that they will "think again,
maybe the official residences" of the child rapist.

Have you seen the guy. If he didn't he'd never get laid.

Ugly people should just take things into their own hands, so
to speak. Kidnapping girls is over the edge.

Do you care if he gets laid?

Awh 'ell... Bill Clinton even got laid -- that proves that *anyone* has a
chance...

Oh great. Instead of M's constant questions that are at least on-topic
for this NG, you have to start a huge and typically wasteful political
thread.

That said, I served in Korea in tactical intelligence (read: crossing
the DMZ at times) and they're definitely amongst the most evil people
in the world. Kim is not likely to start an overt war, simply because
he loves his rock & roll too much. But I fear that he would be willing
to sell nukes to Iran and other nasty places. I think we're closer to
WW-III than we have been in over fifteen years.

Back on topic, I recall when the North shot down one of our cargo
copters. There was an officer up in a GA plane along the DMZ, and Army
ATC called him with "Cessna XYZ, land at the nearest airport
immediately!". He replied, "This is Colonel Smith (a security breach,
if I ever heard one), why should I? What's up?"

ATC dropped their voice a note lower and gritted back deeply with
"COLONEL THIS IS A DIRECT ORDER LAND YOUR AIRCRAFT NOW NOW NOW." He
gulped back softly "Roger, understood, landing!". I think he finally
got the picture.
