“Clearly, it would be inappropriate to say, “Nuke the bastards” over the death of one individual.”
It would be, but most of us share your sentiments. My thought is use the NK’s testing of missiles to test our ABM systems to a point where the next ABM test could be to destroy the missile in its launcher.
What about those three hostages, though?
What about the heavy gunnery pointed at Seoul, South Korea?
