North Korea, the UN, then and now.

So lets see, the North Koreans fire a multi-stage missile into the air that can have far reaching effects on international terrorism and all we hear is we will protest to the UN. The UN will probably issue one of its’ many resolutions and as usual the offending country will ignore. Now when was the last time the UN really took military action against North Korea for being bad? I think it was in 1950 when the North invaded South Korea. Naturally, it was the United States that had to carry the burden of defending the South. So if we do not act, countries that don’t comply with UN resolutions know that nothing will happen. After 17 useless resolutions with Iraq, we had to take action. If the UN were united in taking military action against countries that were not complying, we probably would have different results in the world stage. But with countries like China, Russia and France on the Security Council you can rest assured nothing would happen. It is about time we told the world that they can go screw themselves and if any country attempts to strike our country either through terrorism or other means, we will make sure that country will regret such action. That is the only language these rogue nations understand. Frightening, yes, but it is the language of understanding. As far as the rest of the world is concerned, they know talk is cheap and action speaks louder than words. You can only bury your head in the sand so long. This was done in Europe when Hitler came to power in the early thirties and all Europe did was wave their finger just like the UN, our so-called allies and the US have done. Pres. Regan let Libya get the message that put them in their place. Pres. Bush did it with Iraq and Afghanistan. Whether you agree with these conflicts or not you can believe Saddam Hussein, the Taliban and Al Quaeda wish they did things differently.
