I confess I have mixed feelings about this article and the whole North Korea situation in general. On one hand, I'm appalled by the kind of utterly selfish behavior displayed by a leader of a country who should be sharing the wealth he so lavishly bathes in. Notice any similarities to Saddam Hussein? I therefore feel that a joint strike force against North Korea would be completely justified both for the sake of North Korean (NK) citizens who don't have lobster flown in to their homes and citizens around the world who are threatened by NK's nuclear ambitions. On the other hand, I sure as hell wouldn't like to see another Iraq despite the fact that we had every right to go in there and defend the safety of America.I also suspect the reason why dear old Kimmy won't like the sanctions is because it'll disrupte his constant influx of cognac and Mercedes-Benz cars. Needless to say I'll be interested to learn what kind of "punishments" the UN will come up with.

You're comments are appreciated.
