The Nukes Arrive

North Korea, the world's last Stalinist regime, predicated on murder, proliferation, counterfeiting, threat, and theft, has today threatened nuclear reprisal. This is not mere bluster, a nation that gladly starves and kills her own innocent citizens is apt to do anything. This is a country that brought down a commercial airline with an on board bomb, that kidnapped Japanese from their homeland to advance espionage, that routinely starves or shoots her hapless people. Two American reporters have fallen into North Korea's evil clutches. They face twelve years at hard labor after a sham trial. They are actually extremely lucky that the mad regime thinks it can use them as bargaining chips, if they were not of some value alive, the North Koreans would have no compunction about killing them. When a tyrannical, unscrupulous dictator threatens, the world would be wise to listen and prevent the action which is likely to follow whether it is the dwarf madman in Pyongyang or the one in Tehran doing the threatening.
