I was hoping to find out why we didn't firebomb N. Korea when they refused to let this ship go.The answer is that such an action by the US would have caused an international war between the US and China. The ship was not worth it.

If I were President, I would have said they should have thought of that before they boarded it.
No war is "worth it". Every war would fail a cost-benefit analysis. That's why no one ever does one.
