I'm not worried about it...nothing I-as one person-can do about it. But each of us had a lot of control over it. You used your control the last time you went to the ballot box. You used your control when you did or didn't write to your congress people. You used your control when you did or didn't write that letter to the editor. You use your control when you buy stuff advertised on either faux or CNN and increase their ability to editorialize. Yes, you had control, but by now it is all on autopilot. |

North Korea has declared the "Cease Fire" ended. This is a declaration of war. The world is showing great restraint by not making pre-emptive strikes. If he does release a rain of missiles, it will prove he is either crazy or stupid. I can see no positive outcome for North Korea in it. Someone needs to make him a nice hot mug of calmthehelldown. Only question is will it be microwaved? Janice |

Just so's ya remember. This was recorded by Lehrer back in about 2008. And he wrote it years before then. Who's next? Realism is scary sh=t, eh? The song rings true today...... 'Who's next?' Now we know......'Who's next.' "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

The message is clear to NK, stand down or suffer the consequences. Your choice. That's all good & well when there are leaders with common sense inside, however when dealing with a megalomaniac, it's the people that suffer on all sides. With their culture, saving face is all that matters! |

With their culture, saving face is all that matters! I simply wonder if our press is unable to see his face enhancing exit strategy for all his BS. |

It's OK.... Leaked report says that NK can arm a missile with a nuke. But with 'low reliability'. How much reliability do you need with a nuke, anyway? And they are trying to downplay the leak... "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

they can load whatever they want on a missle. They don't have a reentry sheild that will work so anything that is sent up will just burn on reentry. Oh lets not forget that we currently have anti missile missiles that work superbly at knocking any satelite or missile out of the sky. In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face.

The C.I.A . We all no he's a nutter send in the seal's or our special forces the S.A.S and be done with it I say before he get's to cosy with Iran or then we gona be in big do do Shorely he doesn't think O'bama is gona sit there a just take it he would be better to remind himself or what O'bama did to Bin Laden I don't think he's a man to trifle with if push comes to shuv |

Glenn, the problem with taking him out is that the military in NK is also run by nutters.. |
