North Korean Mischief

North Korea deliberately opened floodgates on a dam, releasing billions of gallons of water in spite of South Korean warnings that the dam could be used as a weapon, flooding an area popular with South Korean campers, killing at least six and leaving at least three missing. This assault comes after South Korean fisherman have been both shot at and abducted by North Koreans, and after a female South Korean tourist was shot and killed on an authorized visit into North Korea. How many outrages will the world allow-with North Korea remaining the world's foremost proliferator, selling any weapon to anyone with cash and still doing everything she can to advance Iran's nuclear program? When will the world say this is intolerable and take the kind of massive preemptive strike to defang the maniacal midget dictator, who is striving to be in a position to blackmail the whole world? I fear the answer is never, as even the last President Bush, who rightly characterized North Korea as a member of the Axis of Evil, ultimately lacked the guts to act decisively. This cowardice by the community of nations must serve as a lesson to Israel that if the Jewish state does not act to stop Iran, forcefully and without warning, no other nation or multilateral body will stop the ultimate destruction of Tel Aviv and Ahmadinejad's fulfillment of his pledge to erase Israel from the map.
