We're not going to do squat. nK will keep their nukes, and Iran will get them. The US doesn't have the stomach to do anything about it, and no one else would back us if we did.

We need to consider how to live in a world with nukes in nK and Iran, 'cause we aren't going to stop them.

That's pretty much the Reader's Digest version. We're in for a flurry of statements, meetings, and condemnations, followed by no actions of any significance.

Agree.. Now for the best part... How will the next 911 comission say the U.S. Government failed to connect the dots... In my opinion you can only say it once.

You know, the real Mr. Rogers wasn't a whiny little wuss. We have the stomach, or we wouldn't be in Iraq and Afghanistan right now.

We can't simply attak NK without sacrificing hundreds of thousands (at least) of South Koreans. I don't have the stomach for that, either. Your Kommando Keyboard might.

The likely price tag for SK limits our options -- but it doesn't close them out. Regime change is the way to address this problem. Li'l Kim is a marked man.
