There's nothing Clinton could have done, short of declaring war, that would have prevented the north Koreans from getting to where they are.
Clinton could have done what he now says he had plans for. A conventional bombing of the reprocessing plant to stop them from going ahead.
I have read your other posts on NK, and see two solutions, once all the "yak yak" is over.
1) Conventional bomb the reprocessing plant now, to stop any more bombs, and risk a Korean War.
2) Resign ourselves to paying them off, with no real way to check what they are doing, no matter what they say. With the knowledge that they have lied to us before about Nukes. And risk a Nuke attack on the mainland.
For this means, long term, they will have the ability to sell Nukes to Terrorists, and we will have a major risk of a Nuke going off in New York or DC sometime in the future. It also means, once we have established this pattern, that any other rogue state can do the same to us. So we will have to pay off Iran, or face the Israelis bombing the plants there.
No really good way out, is there? |
