I always thought we should have taken out the North Korean Nuclear processing plant with a few stealth bombers at the height of the Irag war. Then deny, deny, deny.

Everyone was down on Israel when they did the same to Irag in the eighties, but history proved it to be a bold and correct move.

There was a difference: Israel made sure that the reactor wasn't going to be hot first.

This issue worries me 10 times more than Iraq ever did. But I seriously don't think this administration will do a thing before the elections. I don't see the need (or use) in denying anything, it's not like anybody would think Seoul took them out. Do it and stand tall.

This administration doesn't seem willing to do anything that might cost them a single vote for 2004. Bush is spending like a democrat and everything else geopolitically seems to be in sustaining mode. By the time the elections roll around, I think it will be too late to deal with this issue properly. I don't necessarily believe that they've reprocessed many fuel cells just yet, but they sure as hell are working at it.

So do we sacrifice Seoul? Because if we take out the nuke plant, Seoul will get hit hard. Hell, Sosa can use a corked bat and almost hit a baseball from the DMZ to Seoul. They'll also fire at Japan. If we hit them, we'd better him them with just about all we've got. If we ignore this issue now, NK will see that a nuclear weapon goes off on American soul in the next 20 years. Sorry to be a pessimist.
