esquire.com — This week's tests were a local propaganda success gone globally awry, and a foreign-policy expert has bad news for us: The totalitarian, war-crime-worthy North Korean government and its paranoid, militant ways aren't going away anytime soon ? unless...

Well, the European SOP would be to divide up Korea and give sovereignty over the parts to allies and China. Naturally, a non aggression pact follows with the latter. Control over the natural resources (if any) are then allocated to a multi national corporation made up of European companies - let's say for example the European East Asian Trading Company. Preferably, the divisions would occur on the most inconvenient lines, so the natives would spent all their time fighting each other instead of the European colonials.

YES we are the only nation evil enough to use NUKES.but I also think it was the BEST DECISION in history. I FIRMLY believe had we not nuked japan none of us would be here today.You see the reality of war and weapons tends not to be REAL to people until its actually used.I think the stark hard cold reality is just how HORRIFYING nuclear weapons are was taken OUT of the maybe the could be the hearsay into cold hard fact when we dropped those bombs.it was no longer a what if. A could be a maybe we will survive. There was no question just how powerful horrible and scary those weapons were.I believe those 2 cities in japan are the ONLY reasons we have NOT and never will have a nuclear war.No one would be STUPID enough to actually USE THEM in all out war and anyone who IS stupid enough will never have access to enough of them.So while its horrible and anything else you can think of I ALSO believe that dropping those nukes quite literally saved the human race. At least saved it from nuclear annihilation.NO general or president could delude themselves about the weapons. Those cities made it clear just how awesome nuclear weapons are.

China and Japan do not get along at all and at no time in the near future will they become buddies.

Haha, we were one of the main reasons Korea split in two in the first place! We are obliged to follow through in solving this crisis because of the stupid military decisions we made decades ago.

Or makes the kid cry louder. Why not just put on headphones and listen to your MP3 player or iPod or whatever it is you listen to until the kid runs out of energy?

@offrdbandit said:"How about the nation that rounded up and killed millions of innocent civilians in death camps for ideological reasons?"That would be the US, right?----------------------------------------------------"How about the nation encouraging its citizens to commit suicide rather than be occupied by US forces?""Give me liberty or give me death." An American expression, no? And are you seriously recommending US occupation to all people at all times? Just how can you justify that?
