North Korea's Crime should not go unpunished

Has this world been taken over by sheep?

There was a time when a threat of war would have been taken seriously. Not in this day of tea and cookie diplomacy. Where preemptive strikes are left up to the enemy.

This has become a time where "they" are given "three strikes" on our interests, before someone looks up and say's, "hey, we might have a problem here" (Pre 9/11 is a good example. Only they had a lot more than 3 strikes)

On the other hand;

Anyone who threatens the President is considered a serious danger and taken into custody. 

Call up a federal building and make a bomb threat. Guess what will happen to you? You will be taken into custody.

In fact, call up the local McDonald's, DQ, KFC, Burger King or school, make a threat against them and you will be going to jail.

Nobody even thinks you might be just blowing off steam.

But Kim Jung-on threatens to attack the US with nukes, (stated that its military has been cleared to wage an attack using "smaller, lighter and diversified nuclear" weapons) moves their missile launchers to the ready position, cancels the armistice.

Ending the peace agreement say's only one thing to me; no more peace.

Cease fire is essentially cancelled. 

Add to that these additional circumstantial behaviors:


The North followed through on another promise Monday, shutting down a Red Cross hotlinethat  the North and South used for general communication and to discuss aid shipments and separated families' reunions.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

North Korea announced that it will bar South Korean people from entering the Kaesong Industrial Complex and allow only complex workers return to the South.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

North Korea has warned foreign embassies in Pyongyang that it cannot guarantee their safety from the threat of conflict after April 10th, and has advised them to consider pulling their staff out of the capital.

Yet, except for the "well, yes, we are a bit worried but don't believe there is an immediate threat" statements. Nobody is taking North Korea seriously.

Cause unlike Joe Blow down on his luck, drunk and calling up the local McDonald's,

Kim Jung-on is just blowing off steam.

The US has also made this decision:

A senior defense official confirms that the Pentagon has delayed an intercontinental ballistic missile test that was scheduled for next week. The official says Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel decided to postpone the test because of ongoing tensions with North Korea.

So, the US kowtows to North Korea. Postponing a test that had nothing to do with North Korea, cause it might make them mad.

All over the US, all I hear is laughter when the mention is made of North Korea's threats.

I am willing to bet if North Korea attacks the South and/or other targets, people will be up in arms if we find ourselves at war over there again.

Because afterall, they are suppose to be given 3 strikes.

Here is an idea.

The UN should put North Korea in the dock at the Hague
