I'd settle for a decapitation strike on the leadership.

But what about the North Korean leadership?

I'm confused. We've only been dealing with the latest leader of NK for 6 years...

Now I'm confused.  If only the "latest leader" counts, then our latest leader has only been dealing with their latest leader for ten months or so.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

For real?

You think a pre-emptive attack on North Korea's leadership is the best course of action?

You've considered the risk of the 25 million people in Seoul's capital area being subject to intense artillery bombardment, you've considered the potential cost in American lives and treasure if the region gets destabilized and the US gets drawn into an extended conflict, and you've considered the risk of destabilizing the North leading to the creation of millions of refugees... and you think "seems like the best course of action"?

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Quit being a pussy. Real men drop bombs.

When has that course ever failed to work out for us?

Hating on me is not going to address your self-loathing about being a Canadian, V. 
That is something you, and only you, can solve.  :hug:
I don't really hate you CdM.  I just think you're a whiny little bitch and that's annoying.  You always need something to complain about.  You hate everyone around you and we're supposed to hate you. 

If it's what pleases you, then ok, I hate you.  Happy now? :)

Yeah, I'm such a whiny little bitch, I'm going to act like one right now.

That's definitely a whiny bitch move, for sure.

Meh, even when I agree with him he wants to fight about it.  He's like the chick that breaks your stuff just to have an excuse for the makeup sex.

I'm not sure that there is a good course of action with regards to North Korea, but I'm pretty sure that waiting around until they develop missiles that can reliably hit the US is a bad idea.

Yeah, there are no obviously awesome courses of action on the table I don't think. The salient one is whether a preemptive attack is worth the risk.

You ready to nuke those slopes now into the stone age star-spangled style since the nigger wouldn't do it, dps?  Is that what you're saying, since we "keep following the same failed course?"

I got a hard on.
