Much Ado About Korea
It would appear that the North Koreans have a missile all fueled up on the launch pad. All ready to go.
What do we do?
2) Shoot it down from with our new-fangled missile defense system.
3) Let diplomacy have a chance. (again)
4) None of the above.

Those war-mongering Clintonites, huh?
I must confess, I'd really like solution #2 but I have no idea how viable that is. Blast the freakin' thing out of the sky. No belligerence, just like parrying the punches of a three year old.
Posted by: jk at June 23, 2006 10:02 AMTo be fair, I heard Jed Babbin, (no Clintonista) vote for #1. He says if the NorK's don't put out a "Notice to Airman and Mariners" before launching it, we have no idea where it's going. It would be prudent for us to destroy it the ground. He even said that position is UN-friendly.
(i don't buy that last part)

The paranoid side of me senses an attack on the Iraq war by Democrats who now claim that Iran and North Korea are more dangerous. I don't know that either situation would be somehow better with Saddam Hussein still in power but I certainly sense an undercurrent.
