No, they did something. The UN had an international keggar in the Security Council, but got too drunk to issue any kind of statement. When they sober up, there will be hell to pay in North Korea....
Excellent point. A lot of other, even more dangerous people found out too. If we are afraid to stomp on a diminutive criminal like NoKo then why would anyone else have reason to fear us?
It's the classic democrat response--back up, back up, back up until we're cornered and then have to take the hard way out when the easy way would have been so much better if taken sooner.
Thanks, SpaceBar!
