The MAD (Mutually assured destruction) doctrine will be back in force.

After all the hysteria dies down....that's about what we're left with.....then on to Dancing with the Stars, the sequel.

"Am I alone in thinking that the most likely result of this is a Chinese invasion of NK? "


==

I didn't think of that, but at this point, I personally wouldn't mind. At least the Chinese are not crazy.

MAD doesn't work here. The NK threat is not that they will use their weapon - it is that they will sell it. NK has no means to deliver its weapon. Islamic terrorists drenched in oil dollars will.

Well ya know how crazy they get up there about their leader. They probably heard him pass gas and decided that was the explosion.

I don't see the PRC getting that involved -- if they cared that much they could have put the screws on politically and economically before now. They should care enough to stop the Mad Troll of Pyongyang (if nothing else to prevent Japan and SK from going nuclear, as you note) but they have been remarkably cavalier about the whole issue.

N. Korea DOES have missiles -- they had a test failure, but that doesn't mean they don't have other long range missiles that may work.

Tenet: North Korea has ballistic missile capable of hitting U.S.

http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/asiapcf/east/02/12/us.nkorea/


North Korea has an untested ballistic missile capable of hitting the United States, top U.S. intelligence officials said Wednesday.

While testifying at a Senate committee hearing in Washington, CIA Director George Tenet was asked whether North Korea had a ballistic missile capable of reaching the U.S. West Coast.

Before answering, Tenet turned to very quickly consult with aides sitting behind him.

"I think the declassified answer, is yes, they can do that," Tenet said.

===

They are just talking on FoxNews about the US plane in the areat that can detect the nuclear detonation.

If they launch on the USA, this should be our response.

True... and if detente isn't working, there's really only one other option.

I called my mother to tell her to turn on the TeeVee. She told me to call Bush and tell him to push the red button NOW.
