My Gut feeling is China will handle them. Otherwise US foreign policy will look like a remake of "The Godfather"

S. Korea paid them $ 200 M under the table. N. Korea can't understand why they can't stick everyone up.

what's the big deal about N Korea? well, other than the fact that while much of their population is starving, what money they have, is pumped into the military and such uselessness as a "showcase capital" with unoccupied skyscrapers the population is brainwashed and fed only gvmt propaganda, much like George Orwell's 1984, if you buck the system there are slave labor camps they already have nuclear weapons North Korea... a country that sees death as a non-issue when it comes to electing an "eternal" president Government: Communist 'dynasty', one-man dictatorship Chairman of the National Defense Commission (highest post held by a living person): Kim Jong Il Eternal President: Kim Il-sung Religion: All religion has been effectively prohibited since the 1950s Major industries: Military products, machinery, electric power, chemicals... Secondary industries: Food processing North Korea has some exquisite national parks, and the country is almost completely unexploited by commercial tourism. See it and it will be a memorable journey... if they let you in.
