The UN just passed a resolution on North Korea that involved limited sanctions--which I can tell you now will not work.

This is how I would deal with the crisis.

1. Cut off all foreign aid to North Korea with the exception of food and medical supplies--and limit these to force North Korea to buy their own as well.

2. Heavily tax products exported by North Korea to discourage people from buying them.

3. Wait. Eventually North Korea will get so poor that they can't support their million many army and weapons programs. They will have no choice but to comply with the UN or possibly face a revolt of their people.

I think we should bomb them a lot and any country nearby just in case.

Not possible. North Korea has a big brother too. But hey, glad to see you are coming around.

Jeez! Just because you run out of magical answers for the jews and the beheaders don't mean you have to go whacko!

That wouldn't work. You don't have any bombs. Only my side has them. lol

Hey just because I thought this was a nice fresh subject AND I read the whole post (plus I still haven't quite finished by beers) doesn't mean I can't butt in.

My side has lots of bombs by the way.

That makes good sense. ahem...

I didn't even look to see where you rolled from.

Do you like #zero? You seem a lot like him. Full of hot air and no answers that is.

Well, he tends to talk about pies somewhat unexpectedly in the middle of threads about football but other than that he seems OK. He gets bored less easily than I do though.

i think it's too late for that. the populace is probably too hungry to revolt. and controlled.

And how many innocent North Korean people are you condemning to death by this type of action?

Does North Korea export anything to anybody?

Furor,

The chinese own north korea. They have used them to goad their main enemy (the US) for sixty years.

Did you notice how the Japanese got the attention of the Chinese last week?

That is all this is about. But the resolution means nothing. The Chinese will go on laughing about it and using the koreans to their needs until the world insists that china fix their puppet state. So don't hold your breath.

I don't know.. maybe if we did this, north koreans would learn more about planting rice and raising pigs, and less about building bombs and staying in step.
