So I expected some "Cheap Shots" from the "Anti-War" crowd. Just don't want to dicuss the serious matters realistically. You're suggestion is to "Roll the Dice" and nuke North Korea and you accuse me of not wanting to discuss the matter seriously. Earth to LB....come in....Earth to LB!!

the failure to "Roll the Dice" could mean the end of NYC or DC. Open ended speculation is not looking at matters realistically either. The set of potential events is far greater than the single event that will happen. It would be fair to say that some events are more likely than others, but it is not helpful to confuse the likelyhood and the gruesomeness. It is not every likely that I will fall in a meat grinder and while I would find that prospect extremely unpleasant it is not reasonable for me to expend most of my efforts in treasure to prevent that outcome instead of, for example, buying newer tires for my car.
