Myself, I think the time to drop some bombs in Pyongyang has come. Not a massive raid, mind you, but selective targeting of military administration buildings and whatever 'palaces' that can be targeted, as well. Just to send the Coiffed One the message that he can be killed if we so desire.
Well you couldn't kill an old man in a cave when you had the chance and forces on the ground or Saddam in your bombing raids, so much for that, eh ?
And why is the answer to everything to drop some bombs ?
Well, normally I rarely support the knee-jerk "Hey, let's bomb them into the stone age" mentality that some espouse so quickly, but in the case of NK, I think the world may be out of options. Read some great commentary saying these activities (sinking of a SK corvette and the artillary barrage) is likely part of the power shift from the midget to his son. An effort to show the military leadership that everyone is still playing ball.
Diplomacy seems only to be able to tone down the rhetoric and SK is beginning to come across as a wuss. Really, I was shocked that nothing came from the sinking of one of its warships. That was an act of war no doubt, and if the US stepped in to tell them to step back from the brink then I'd be some annoyed because there's no way they'd do the same. If the allies didn't step in, then SK is being a pussy.
Frankly, this should have been sorted out years ago - before NK got nuclear weapons, which has since complicated things. Keep waiting and the NKs will get mpre nukes and then maybe it'll be too late.
