Excuse me, are you clinically insane?


Atrios has a link on his blog to Wolf Blitzer's CNN page, and his latest unscientific poll. The question of the day: Should the United States consider launching a pre-emptive strike against North Korea?

The North Koreans have built tunnels under the DMZ, without us finding out for years. They managed to reprocess enough plutonium from when they defueled Yongbyon in the mid 1990's, without us knowing they were reprocessing. Even now, we do not know how many bombs they have, if they have any at all. Our spy satellites are formidable, but they cannot see underground.

And you still want to launch a preemtive strike? Where do you hit? With what? And how do you know you got it? We have a big problem with intelligence when it comes to North Korea. There are not enough people in this country who speak Korean. If you are going to launch a preemptive strike, you have to make damn sure you get all of the weapons. If you didn't, you just started a nuclear war.
