And just who in Asia is going to stop Kim Jong-Il? Certainly not China - he is their puppet bought and paid for and it is to their advantage to have him attacking us. The South Koreans? Geography is against them. Japan? They need to rearm toute suite. Taiwan? Stymied by the mainland Chinese.
It's in our interests to remove this madman, because when he strikes out, it will be us he is trying to hit.
This is Korea's problem. Keep developing a missile defense and let the Asians sort it out. Japan is the key.
Japan should be given nuclear weapons - in a very public way.
if their people won't stand for it because of their "Hiroshim complex" - tough. I say to the Japanese, if you don't want to get nuked a third time by NK, get some nuclear weapons fast.
