When Are We Going To Learn?

North Korea would use nuclear weapons in a 'merciless offensive'<---------------CLICK HERE


This is what happens when the world sits around twiddling their thumbs, throwing sanction after useless sanction at a probable future nuclear threat. In the above article, North Korea, clearly states it's willingness to launch a nuclear attack.

The big problem I have here is the ineptitude of the rest of the world, including the U.S., which could have, and should, have prevented North Korea from ever gaining nuclear capabilities in the first place.

We don't live in a world, anymore, where you can just stand by and watch the enemy gather their troops on the battlefield and then go out and meet them mano e' mano. We live in a world where, if a country is nuclear armed, all they have to do is simply press a button and whole city populations are disintegrated.

This is the capability we have allowed the unstable North Koreans to acquire and this is the capability we are well on the way to allowing the equally unstable Iranians to acquire. If you do not think this is the case, and that the Iranians want nuclear technology just for energy purposes, I beg you to hearken back to the beginnings of the North Korean nuclear program.

Idle threats and hollow sanctions done absolutely nothing to stop the North Koreans from gaining nuclear weapons and neither will the exact same blueprint for disaster being used with the Iranians.

This all so easily could have been prevented if we had just had the courage and fortitude to deal with it in it's infancy. Now, instead of chastising a child we are dealing with a grown man.

So, when are we going to learn? It seems we haven't yet, because we continue the same erred policies. I hope it is not going to take a finger pressing down on a button, with the same force you would use to press your t.v.'s remote control, to teach us the virtues of preventative maintenance.

I'll be typing at ya later,
