Just Shoot It Down
If Kim "Bouffant Boy" Jong-il goes ahead with his missile test, the United States and Japan should make every effort to shoot the thing down. I don't know whether we have any functioning component of SDI in the area, but if so this would be as good a time as any for a live test. What are North Korean's going to do, complain to the UN? Then again.....

EXCUSE ME? There is no functioning component of SDI in ANY area! The Reaganite pipe-dream of this sort of missle defense is credited with "bankrupting" the Evil Empire. Posh! Actually building such a thing, non-functioning or otherwise, would bankrupt the US and no mistake about it. Face it; The Dear Midget's missles work just as well as Bush's missle defense - that is, about not at all. Just get back to the table, BUY the bloody nuke program from The Dear Midget (as the US will inevitably end up doing despite all the posturing), and get on with watching the South Korean economy tank due to reunification. Welcome to the REAL world, Mr Firmin...
We tried that...it didn't work. Bouffant Boy, like most other blackmailers, won't stay bought.
I think the Gaddahi treatment is in order.
PS. I don't give a rat's ass about South Korea.
The point exactly is that we did NOT try that; we just played at it and then, because George had his first hard on since he sired his second child, the administration stopped it before it could bear fruit. Even HE now recognizes (or at least has been told to say) that diplomacy requires a kind of patience and skill that differs from bombing people in several significant ways. Tragically, Bush's supposedly hardnosed policy has produced nothing but the opposite of intended effects.
In any case, this sort of mindless devotion to the bellicose approach cannot be the serious view of a serious person. Crack-addled anorexics like Ann Coulter make comments like this and all the angry immature males in American come in their collective pants, but there is just no "there" there.
People like Zarqawi calculate the value of innocent lives at zero (except their PR value, of course), but a person with children certainly cannot do this. Taking action against a facility in the DPRK is almost certain to have grave consequences for South Korea and even if you regard them all as inferior beings (which I don't in any case believe you do), summarily condemning even a handful of them for nothing more than a "feel good" action of purely imaginary military value is, simply, immoral.
