"I know you don't mean that bombing and invading is better than continuing to give them food and fuel to keep their Military warm and fed. You know the food and fuel we have given them for the last 9 years, that has never made it down to the people, has not stopped them from going ahead with WWD." I don't know that the food and fuel went to the military.I don't know that everything we sent them for the last 9 years ever made it to the "PEOPLE". I don't know if they started working on the Reactor because they wanted to create energy for their population, create product for sale, or simply have leverage in negotiations. I don't know. You, apparently, feel confident in these facts. That's nice for you. I, unfortunately, do not share your conviction. All I know is that there were no military threats, exchanges, or crises when an engagement policy was Strategy 1 for North Korea. War wasn't threatened for a year or eighteen months. When something went bad we bombed, used the UN, formed coalitions, used NATO, other alliances (Bosnia). I do know we sent some money and resources North Korea's way and I hope if fed starving people even if some of them were in the military. Starving people are starving people.
