On the world stage N.Korea is typically insignificant, but right now thats different. Since the elections in '08 they have been instigating the UN and the US on a regular basis. Just like with the Korean War in the '50's I think we are sending a bad message to the world by our obvious inaction. I certainly dont think we should act first against the,, but at them same time I think we need to make sure they get the message hat although the US is a bit war wary, we will not back down to them and we will react is provoked.
