The history of NK has shown different. The famine of the nineties almost brought NK to its knees, but China and the US (including President Bush) sent them the food aid to brink their country back from the brink. I guess this Administration has to make a decision between starving this despicable regime out (and thus, allowing a lot of innocent people to die) or allow even more people to die when these maniacs nuke someone.
Tough choice that I would not want to make.
I'd make it without a second thought. Let'em eat cake.
I'mnot worried about NK launching nukes at all; it would be the end of the communist regime for good. I worry about them exporting the technology to terrorist organizations.
