I agree with you
BUT, of the 2 choices, whom cares more about humanity??
NK has shown NO regard for humanity, compassion or any other basic human rights. The reason its scary is that NK and others have percieved us to be weak, which we have been in the past.
CONTAIN AND CONTROL = CAPITULATION
In other words, give them what they want to keep them in control. The problem is, just like drug addicts, what they had before now becomes NOT enough.
The ONLY thing regimes like IRAQ, IRAN, N.K., SYRIA, and the like understand if FEAR.. The same fear that they rule by, is what will rule them.
Sure its scary, but to turn our backs now and let this fester just a while longer on puts off the inevitable. I have read where some somehow JUSTIFY the fact that its ok for Iraq to have WMD, because WE do. How ridiculous is that?
If the regimes in questions were all on equal footing with the rest of the world in terms of WMD's, then its whomever is perceived to be the ones that WILL push the button that will rule thru bully tactics.
We saw a glimpse in NK's statement, that the world will not exist anymore if they are attacked. The writing is on the wall boys and girls and it will ONLY get worse day after day as long as we, the civilized world, allow these regimes to continue to acquire those weapons thatCOULD end all mankind.
The policy should be changed from contain and control to eradication, before all mankind is.....
IMHO
