In the crisis like this, the real game is how our side can make up our mind before it is too late, not what our adversary does. The adversary's intention is pretty much clear and consistent over the years.
The real tragedy is not that the other side can wreak some havoc, but how empty-headed "useful idiots" allowed the eventual damage to snowball.
Oh, we'll be more than happy to provide their military-industrial underground complex with a 100 foot thick glass ceiling. You think you've seen mad, you haven't seen mad until someone actually lobs a nuke at the States. The fury at 9/11 will seem but the annoyance of suffering a fender-bender.
Sure, but we've sure let the enemies arm up to seriously. It seems we're far more interested in santifying the koran than actually stopping enemy states from gathering nukes.
I'm sure after they use a few here, we'll bitch and maybe lob a few back. But by then, it's too late. It's probably already way too late, going back to clinton times.
These are not dropped from space, only high altitude. The energy of the gravity fall of say 50,000 feet, combined with the mass and very small aerodymanic cross section is all that is required to bring these silent darts to a very high speed with enormous kinetic energy at impact....

Do you know that the policy goal of N. Korea this year is to concentrate on military industry and agriculture, nothing else. Somebody gave the following interpretation:
N. Korea had developed a nuke warhead which can be mounted on missiles, which can threaten Japan, not just S. Korea. They will test it, and be slapped with sanction. They plan to stick it out by growing enough to survive the duration.
If he is correct, S. Korea is sending fertilizers which would make N. Korea last during the coming sanction after the test of miniaturized nuclear warhead.
Any body who sends ANYTHING to North Korea, on the eve sanctions on them, is 'before the fact', 'propping them up'. Same goes with profits from amphetamine and sea food/crab sales in Japan, or other ways they rake in money around the world, either above board or in the shadows.
Sounds good to me.
Some great points. Bush actually came out pretty strong (verbally at least) against NK as his administration came up. Next thing, though, we have 9/11 on our hands and major military operations.
Kim's turn is coming. Have no doubt about that. For all the ROK's appeasement, loose NK WMD is a serious threat to the US. NK has shown reckless brinkmanship in the past. The key to shutting this down outside of war is not appeasement, but economic pressure on China.
It is funny how China postures and throws its hands up in the air, saying it can't PERSUADE the Norks to stand down. Funny, the Chinese have never had any problems persuading the Tibetans, the Indians or the Vietnamese amongst many others. China is playing this out to the full, but can stop it any time they want to. Time to start throwing their cheap goods out of Walmart, Target, K-Mart, etc.
Funny how China tells us the Norks want a nuke program and "bilateral nonagression pact" (hahaha) with the US because they feel threatened (and they should be threatened, as the bozo dork running the country has killed of ten percent of the population in the last ten years); if it's all about peace and quelling the perception of threat, maybe we should throw in a few nukes to Taiwan, too, until PRC signs a nonagression pact with them.
We need to wake up on this issue.
