Well, the consequences of inaction must be weighed. 52,000 military and 1,000,000 civilian lives sacrificed to avert a possible global nuclear tragedy. It makes me disguted as well, at Kim Jong Il.
If you think about it, lil Kimmie doesn't plan to nuke anyone.
It is just a bargaining tool. Just like the rocket launches.
How much UN funds will NK get if they show they have rockets that can carry Nukes to the US?
How much for setting off some CLASS "B" nukes ?
Lil Kim needs money, he doesn't want to spend it on a war.
