[Steve Van Doorn]

”Kim Jong Il will sell the stuff to terrorists. So WHO do we retaliate against; which nation?”

You answered your own question. Both the source of the terrorists and N Korea using your story.

[nopardons]

Terrorists know no country. So which nation would we nuke in revenge...Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria; all of them? And no, we won't turn Mecca and Medina into glass, either.

Oh, but WOULD it be N.Korea? Why not Russia, or Iran, or Pakistan?

No, I did NOT "answer" my own question. I gave a well reasoned speculation. We don't nuke nations on mere speculation.
