Funny how the situation has gone with NK. Here's a writeup from a different forum.

Quote:
Reasonable Person: "We should bomb Kim Jong Il. He's a homicidal maniac."
Bedwetter: "What? No! He's only oppressing his own people; he doesn't present a threat to anyone else, and who are we to get involved in his country's internal affairs?"

(A year passes)
RP: "We should bomb Kim Jong Il. He's a homicidal maniac, and he's working on nuclear weapons."
BW: "What? No! There's no evidence he intends to use them against anyone else, and besides, he doesn't have a delivery system. We should engage him in multilateral talks and give diplomacy a chance to work."

RP: We should bomb Kim Jong Il. He's a homicidal maniac, and he's working on nuclear weapons and a guided missile delivery system."
BW: "What? No! There's no evidence he intends to use them against anyone else, and besides, his missiles can't possibly reach the U.S. We should engage him in multilateral talks and give diplomacy a chance to work."

RP: We should bomb Kim Jong Il. He's a homicidal maniac, and he's working on nuclear weapons and a guided missile delivery system that could reach the U.S."
BW: "What? No! His missile tests have failed! We should engage him in multilateral talks and give diplomacy a chance to work."

RP: We should bomb Kim Jong Il. He's a homicidal maniac, and he now has nuclear weapons and a guided missile delivery system that could reach the U.S."
BW: "What? No! We can't launch a pre-emptive attack on an unstable country run by a madman who has nuclear weapons!"

RP: We should bomb Kim Jong Il. He just dropped a nuke on BW."
