Think of the fury with a million or more dead Americans and a city destroyed. The retribution would be horrendous to see,

Expoloding a nuke via ICBM is difficult, but loading a missle with spent fuel rods or other highly radioactive material and high explosives is easy. Think of it as a long range permanant mine field. You don't need to be accurate with the missle, just on land, the weather will do the rest.

It doesn't matter if KIM has a warhead or even 100. He does have the means to deliver a warhead (nuke, HE, dirty nuke) and those missles work! He needs to be dealt with, so the real question is how do we bring about a confrontation with NK so it will be in our tactical and strategic advantage?

Will we squeeze NK like a vice or will we deal quickly like a hammer blow? I think the next 60 days of diplomacy will tell how action against NK will go. By the way diplomacy is going and the fact the UN is not dealing with NK's treaty breaking, I think we will take a hammer to NK.
