#2 I remember one time Nork warships tried to play games with Skor warships. One of the Skor ships used its Phalanx in direct fire mode. Cut a Nork ship in half, horizontally.

Which I gather voids its warranty.

#9 When do you suppose the world diplomatic community will finally decide that Kim Jong Ill is nuttier than a bowl of granola?

There is just something not quite right with the government in Nork.

#10 Maybe we should ask Russia (who is pretty well pi$$ed with the NORKS) to use one of their "Tsar Bomba" weapons on Pyongyang. Do it when the wind is directly out of the west, and there will be a new "red line" across the country - one of radioactive debris.

#11 OP, what have you got against Japan? If the wind is coming from the West, the fallout will be carried towards Japan.
