Is it just me or does anyone else think WE should test one of our "LONG" range missles?
What would be a good destination....?

Can we test more than one? Teheran needs to know we care about them too!

Probably not just you but I am in disagreement. IMO we are bulling NK on behalf of Japan. You remember Japan don't you? The ones that bombed Pear Harbor.
Now if the question is, do I think that little sawed off runt with the pompadour hairdo would use nuclear power my answer is yes. There is no question that we would. We almost did again during the Nixon administration.

I say we test "Long range missiles" from Syria to North Korea. Spread the love around a bit. I am tired of being the world's "whipping boy" and of the "Blame America" americans (little "a" on done on purpose). I heard this on the radio in Kansas over the 4th of July. It was originally done in 1973 but it is still pretty much appropriate for today.

Topic: "The Americans"
The United States dollar took another pounding on German, French, and British exchanges this morning, hitting the lowest point ever known in West Germany. It has declined there by 41% since 1971, and this Canadian thinks it is time to speak up for the Americans as the most generous, and possibly the least-appreciated, people in all the earth.
As long as sixty years ago, when I first started to read newspapers, I read of floods on the Yellow River and the Yangtse. Well who rushed in with men and money to help? The Americans did, that's who.
They have helped control floods on the Nile, the Amazon, the Ganges, and the Niger. Today, the rich bottom land of the Mississippi is under water and no foreign land has sent a dollar to help. Germany, Japan, and, to a lesser extent, Britain and Italy, were lifted out of the debris of war by the Americans who poured in billions of dollars and forgave other billions in debts. None of those countries is today paying even the interest on its remaining debts to the United States.
When the franc was in danger of collapsing in 1956, it was the Americans who propped it up, and their reward was to be insulted and swindled on the streets of Paris. And I was there -- I saw that. When distant cities are hit by earthquake, it is the United States that hurries into help, Managua, Nicaragua, is one of the most recent examples.
So far this spring, fifty-nine American communities have been flattened by tornadoes. Nobody has helped.
The Marshall Plan, the Truman Policy, all pumped billions upon billions of dollars into discouraged countries. And now, newspapers in those countries are writing about the decadent, war-mongering Americans.
Now, I'd like to see one of those countries that is gloating over the erosion of the United States dollar build its own airplanes.
Come on now, you, let's hear it! Does any other country in the world have a plane to equal the Boeing Jumbo Jet, the Lockheed Tristar, or the Douglas 10? If so, why don't they fly them? Why do all international lines except Russia fly American planes? Why does no other land on earth even consider putting a man or a women on the moon?
You talk about Japanese technocracy and you get radios. You talk about German technocracy and you get automobiles. You talk about American technocracy and you find men on the moon, not once, but several times, and, safely home again. You talk about scandals and the Americans put theirs right in the store window for everybody to look at. Even the draft dodgers are not pursued and hounded. They're right here on our streets in Toronto. Most of them, unless they're breaking Canadian laws, are getting American dollars from Ma and Pa at home to spend up here.
When the Americans get out of this bind -- as they will -- who could blame them if they said "the hell with the rest of the world. Let somebody else buy the bonds. Let somebody else build or repair foreign dams, or design foreign buildings that won't shake apart in earthquakes." When the railways of France, and Germany, and India were breaking down through age, it was the Americans who rebuilt them. When the Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Central went broke, nobody loaned them an old caboose. Both of 'em are still broke.
I can name to you 5,000 times when the Americans raced to the help of other people in trouble. Can you name to me even one time when someone else raced to the Americans in trouble? I don't think there was outside help even during the San Francisco earthquake.
Our neighbors have faced it alone, and I am one Canadian who is damned tired of hearing them kicked around. They'll come out of this thing with their flag high. And when they do, they're entitled to thumb their noses at the lands that are gloating over their present troubles. I hope Canada is not one of these. But there are many smug, self-righteous Canadians.
And finally, the American Red Cross was told at its 48th Annual meeting in New Orleans this morning that it was broke.
This year's disasters -- with the year less than half-over -- has taken it all. And nobody, but nobody, has helped.

A far more likely scenario would be a crap load of Tomahawk Sub Launched Cruise Missles (SLCM) launched from subs and Air Launched Cruise Missles (ALCM) from B-52's from Guam. Either SLCM's or ALCM's can carry nuke warheads or conventional warheads as needed. Cruise missles cost a lot less than SLBM's or ICBM's. Let's save the big guns for the big dogs and use the fly-swaters for the annoying insects.
As much as I hate to say it, but the fact is, if anything is to be done about NK on a preventive basis, it'll fall on the US and the US alone.
The United Nations is too spineless and ineffective to accomplish anything in a timely basis.
