This is the way to do it. They just blew it up, no UN arguing or resolutions, no bickering back and forth, no talking heads on TV bickering for weeks before hand. The way to take care of business is just decide and do it. If it was a threat, why do focus polls and endless debate, just blow it up and talk later. In this case, nobody has anything to say.

What if we had just called the North Koreans bluff and bombed their nuke facilities when they did their little "test" in July. We were lucky enough they didn't "test" it in the US or South Korea, so actions have consequences. We should have just blasted it to hell. If they didn't like that, then blast everything else. They knew we wouldn't do anything but hand wring for weeks afterward. They should have been shown that they "miscalculated".

Korea is a special and very ugly case... Seoul is well within the reach of several hundred Nork artillery pieces. The carnage would be terrible.
