Thought-provoking that he draws this conclusion after learning it was a false alarm:

_________

“On the drive home, my ten-year-old son asked me this question: ‘Dad, why don’t we just nuke North Korea off the face of the earth, so we don’t have to worry about this anymore.’

I breathed deep and posed him another question. ‘Are there children in North Korea?’

‘Yes.’

‘Are they as precious as you?’

‘I don’t know”

‘Of course they are. Are there fathers in North Korea?’

‘Yes.’

‘Aree their lives as precious as your father’s?’ He didn’t answer. So I concluded, ‘It is better to suffer injustice than to inflict it.’”

Correct answer: “It’s nothing to do with North Korea”.

... As I keep saying!

Moral equivalence: which means that a demonic nut with millions of bostage/slaves can do whatever he damn well pleases until WWIII.

To the author:

Were their children in Hiroshima? In Nagasaki?

Was it worth 130,000 deaths to save 7 million others?

The author apparently ignored that his son didn’t answer that last question. A child would normally think his parent is more precious/important than someone else’s.

Turn your own cheek, not mine.

"Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."

Go Trump!

How about “It is better to eliminate injustice and tyranny that to let it live, fester and spread to the rest of mankind.”

That would be a true act of justice. Letting the suffering go on is truly an injustice of the worst kind.

As a member of a Holocaust wiped out European side of the family, I would rather have had American and British bombers destroy Auschwitz than to let Mengele do his experiments on children, or the SS gas them in the chambers.

Liberals are very liberal at sacrificing other peoples’ lives for their own sanctimonious vain feelings.
