Bentway, I'm wondering, with people there, how YOU feel about a preemptive strike by the US on N. Korea? A lot of your conservative peeps tell me it's WAY past time for that to happen, that it should have been done long before now. They say it's unfortunate that some Americans might die, and also bad that a whole lot of Koreans, both south and north, would likely die, but, it just HAS to be done. Before Kim has H-bombs AND ICBM's to put us at risk. I don't know which "conservative peeps" you're referring to. You must still have the "your tribe vs. mine" mentality. Although in theory a pre-emptive strike sounds like the lesser of all evils, the truth is that it's way too big of a risk. The working theory is that Kim Jong-un wants his regime to survive, and that his brinkmanship is just his way of seeking world significance. That's why we can still assume that he does not want to use a nuke, nor does he want to hand it off to someone who wants to use it. It's just way too many "what ifs" to justify a pre-emptive strike, IMO. Tenchusatsu
