If a bomb is placed in a crate and shipped into LA, and if we believe it was sent by North Korea, then we should response with the necessary military actions to remove the threat. As for automatically killing every man woman and child in Korea for reasons other than our own security, yes that would be a war crime. So the bomb has now gone off in Los Angeles. The US has found evidence that it came from North Korea. What do we do now?

It's no longer just a "threat" when an enemy sets off a nuclear device in a population area and killed hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people. Why do you keep trying to rewrite the scenario? Just give me a straight answer. If they "nuked" one of our cities, does that justify our use of massive retaliation against them? You seem to think it does when they launch a missile strike against us (so long as they are Russians).. I just want to know if you feel the same way if maybe just one of our cities is destroyed. Hawk
