Henry Lamb on North Korea

Henry Lamb is a regular commentator at WorldNetDaily. I like him. Usually he specializes in property rights and national sovereignty issues, and he's a big detractor of the UN's never-ending quest to take over the world and tax the US into oblivion.

But not today. Today Henry Lamb's commentary is on North Korea and what our reaction should be to their nuclear test.

What, then, should the United States do about this North Korean nuclear test? One option is tighter economic sanctions. North Korea has been under sanctions for some time; it didn't stop them, nor will new sanctions. Another option would be for the president to sit down with Kim, one-on-one, and try to come to an agreement that would stuff the nuclear genie back into the bottle. This is the option that many Democrats and socialists around the world would prefer.

Another option: bomb the hell out of Pyongyang, with special attention to every building Kim is known to frequent and every known missile base in the country.

That's why I like him. He's a no-nonsense, get-to-work-and-send-the-message kind of guy. My only concern is that he's getting up there in years, so every week I breathe a sigh of relief that he's still with us, beating up on the socialist-globalist types at home and abroad.

Of course, this [bombing the hell out of Pyongyang] would unleash seismic ripples around the world. Iran would almost certainly crank up its military and enter the fray in Iraq – unless Tehran were known to be on the target list. Russia and China – and France, of course – would scream bloody murder. And the George Soros-funded anti-war groups in the U.S. would go ballistic.

The aftermath would be ugly, no doubt. It will be no more attractive a year from now or five years from now – it will be even worse. But if it does not occur before these "evil" nations get fully operational, the explosions will be in the United States, and the screams will come from Americans.

In the coming election, vote for the party that won't get us killed.

The only way this fair-minded president of ours would bomb North Korea would be if he telegraphed his intentions first - making the act only marginally productive.

Being "fair" may end up costing many more American lives in a nuclear detonation - than it has in Iraq.

Chris,

You're right about the President. Someone on Hugh Hewitt's show Monday said that it looks like President Bush has been body-snatched by the State Department. He's more interested in stability, negotiations, and going through the UN than in doing what's right or what's effective.
