Interesting approach, D.T.

I would tell the security council that the problem is all theirs,

>>> That's a recipe for doing nothing (Russia and China have vetoes, and aren't interested, even less so than Iraq).

I would inform the world that America will no longer solve world problems...

>>> Really? Unless there's oil there? That's pretty funny!

>>> Is it still a 'world problem' when their ICBMs can reach our west coast in a year or two, or is it 'our problem'?

and next I would inform the leader of north korea that if he even fucking looks at America cross eyed he will be nuked within 10 minutes of the percieved threat,and that if there was even a rumor of arm sales the same would happen.......

>>> Sure, that's one approach (and it might work if we hurried up and attacked him right away before his ICBMs improve. That way only 1/2 million to 1 1/2 million South Koreans and Japanese - and maybe 15,000 American troops - would die in the first 48 hours).

>>> Of course, if you want until he can deliver nuclear warheads onto the 'lower 48', then he'll know that it's only a bluff... because - although we could totally destroy his country - the damage 5 or 6... or 10 to 12 nukes would do to us, although not totally destroying us, would still eliminate us as 'world super power', and would totally destroy our economy and kill a few tens of millions of our people.

>>> Some other nation, or group of nations, would take up the reins then... maybe some group from the southern hemisphere.

>>> Sometimes, there's just no excuse for not doing things right away - while the 'getting's good' - like, for instance, Desert Storm. Or, like North Korea right now.

Isn' it amazing. The demonuts and the UN screamed bloody murder when President Bush said we would, unilaterally, take out Saddams weapons of mass murder if the UN would not help. Now the same Idiots are screaming for us, unilaterally, to solve the problem created by China and Russia during the Korean war. We must also remember if N. Korea really has nukes they were constructed under the very supervision of IAEA and Mohamed Al baradie who stated'we have found no evidence of nuclear weapons in Iraq", and, who was also 'suprised',two weeks ago, at how far the Iranians had progressed in their nuclear program.
