The great one; the one with the glistening pecks; the one that is all knowing and all powerful . . . I speak of the man for whom nuclear bombs are but a trifling annoyance . . . no more than a horse fly buzzing about. The great Obama will deliver us from this and all other evils. Relax; you have a god working for you now. What could this bothersome NK do besides blow up Los Angeles? Oh, and by the way, it is a good idea to move away from major population centers and get a combat shotgun and learn how to use it really, really well. Alas, it seems that judgment day is upon us and we had better perform exceptionally well or, we’ll be slapped right out of existence.

Limited to 1500 characters to help keep the debate going? How about if Fox posts comments within 20 minutes of submission? It’s virtually impossible to have any kind of debate without losing interest and moving along to another Website.

WSJ reports today, “The possible defensive measures are expected to be discussed in a series of meetings next week by a high-level U.S. delegation traveling to Tokyo, Seoul, and Bejing led by James Steinberg, the deputy secretary of State. The group is also likely to visit Moscow before week’s end, officials said.”

How many Chinese citizens depend on income from manufactured goods and agricultural product shipped into North Korea? Internal politics aside, Beijing must realize this and find other users for that product.

Cease being NK’s only window into the world – it might have a chilling affect on the succession crisis.

You presume Kim Jong Il is capable of rational thought. He may not be, in which case hundreds of thousands of people, perhaps millions, are going to die. We aren’t talking about Hiroshima’s atomic bomb anymore, but a weapon many times more powerful.
May God Help us. Can anyone tell me why our new president shouldn’t wax pre-emptive on this? Enough already with the diplomacy… it hasn’t worked through how many different administrations. There is only one answer to this threat… a pre-emptive strike on every aspect of the North Korean ( and Iranian as well) nuclear development facilities. It is justified. It is proper. It is time.

I agree with Bender. IMO, the threat is in weapons sold to other countries, specifically Iran.
The threat is against Israel and maybe Iraq. The rest is political posturing.

They just want a piece of the pie too. Their just a little more creative with their ideas on getting their bailouts. If its not the US that bails them out under negotiations for them to cease their nuclear ambitions, then it will be some other radical regime that will happily pay them to aquire wmds. N. Korea needs to find a more peacefull way to put food on the table.

Of course they want money. If they don’t get it from us, then it will be from Iran who would like nothing more then to “erase Israel off the map,” or some other radical regime seeking WMDs. One of the poorest countries in the world with a secretive & radical government that bullies the world to bail them out. Funny how it isn’t too different from some of the banks that just got their bailout money recently. I guess China is waiting for us to spend more of their money again.

Anyone else wonder why it is Gates who goes out and gives the “official warning” from the U.S.? Shouldn’t that be the leader of our country out there being the tough guy? More evidence that a portion of America has elected a Man-Child who is in over his head and continues to pander to his base, and continues to be a campaigner and NOT the President. Apparently we’re upset about NK having nukes but it’s fine if Iran has them, huh? Good grief, we’re getting what we “paid for”!
