The "Great Leader" is willingly starving his people and there is nothing to indicate that he thinks about deterance in any other terms than personal survival. However, he may wait a while for the left to defeat or compromise the Bush administration befor acting. All the same, you gotta be a little nervious if you live in Tokyo given the history of Japan and Korea. NK may hate us but they really are fixated on the Japanese.

Yes, NK hates the Japanese. But don't forget, we virtually obliterated every NK city worth mentioning with B-29's (flying from our bases in Japan) during the Korean War. They still nurse this old score.

Right now, if I were Bush Adminsitration, I'd be seriously considering one of two options:
1. Offering the Japanese nuclear-tipped Tomahawks and SSNs (the early 688s would be ideal candidates).
2. Deploying tactical nukes on our carrier in Japan, and probably also equipping our F-16 wings in the ROK with tacticaal nukes.
Which one do we take?
