To: Mr Rogers
The US doesn't have the stomachYou know, the real Mr. Rogers wasn't a whiny little wuss. We have the stomach, or we wouldn't be in Iraq and Afghanistan right now. We can't simply
attak NK without sacrificing hundreds of thousands (at least) of South Koreans. I don't have the stomach for that, either. Your Kommando Keyboard might. The likely price tag for SK limits our options -- but it doesn't close them out. Regime change is the way to address this problem. Li'l Kim is a marked man.

What did Kristol say (for those without TVs)?I didn't catch the whole thing, but he suggested something about getting China to open its border with North Korea and allow refugees. We would feed and shelter them.

"female reporter blaming Bush..no one mentions the rapist...damn"The biggest part of the news media exists for one purpose only, and that is to elect Democrats. If a reporter was to ask Clinton what he did about a nuclear North Korea, we'd get more red-faced finger pointing. And the knee pad wearing news media would go along with it.

To: Steel Wolf
The deaths of a couple of million South Koreans, for instance? The steel fist is an empty threat, and the North Koreans know it.I fully agree that the options are limited in that sense. But it doesn't mean we have no options. A steel fist doesn't necessarily mean mounting an invasion. There are less overt ways to take direct action, and I suspect those will start soon. I'm thinking things like infiltration teams for assassinations and sabotage -- and Li'l Kim's fuzzy head on a platter. Take out the regime, and the rest of NK will roll over.
