In all of the cases you mentioned the underlying diplomatic thorns are Russia and China and not the nations sited. Given the guilt and shame of America over it's past actions, as expressed by the Obama administration, military threats can no longer be taken seriously… so I guess we better start sending “nasty” notes addressed “to whom it may concern.”

Okay, here's my short answer, I don't think I need to write a fully foreign policy strategy right here... right now it's like trying to close the door AFTER the horse already ran out... Let's take each one at a time, each is its own unique case... First of all, I would not stop Israel from doing what they want to do, if we allowed them to run their own military business in the first place then we would have no ME problem today... relatively speaking, do you really think a country the size of a postage stamp in the middle of an arab region the size of a football field is really the threat? Don't kid yourself, if those phoney palestinians really wanted peace, then they could have had it by now... the more Israel gives up, the more they're at real risk of being eliminated... Military? Economic? Coalition form or US alone? For the others, all the above... Don't kid yourself, iran will blow Israel off the map if they get half a chance... I would isolate and then warn these countries that they are facing grave danger, and then I would blow n korea off the map... it would only take one example for the others to take notice... but right now the world is laughing at this idiot obama who wants to "use diplomacy" after it has failed again and again after 60 years, we have no teeth to back up any bark, and right now we're not even barking...
