President Obama’s Opportunity – North Korea

“North Korea defied world powers and carried out an underground test Monday of a nuclear bomb Russian officials said was comparable to those that obliterated Hiroshima and Nagasaki.”

Today and tomorrow President Obama has an opportunity – deal strictly and harshly with North Korea. 

Liberals and peace loving democrats mount up!  North Korea is arming itself.  Nuclear proliferation is on the rise.  Michael Moore it’s time for another documentary this time on the evils of nuclear weapons and their proliferation! Jane Fonda it’s time to head overseas and protest the aggression of rogue nations! 

It is a time of opportunity.  Will North Korea be allowed to arm itself and proliferate nuclear weapons.  For decades the West has been disarming and dismantling nuclear weapons at the behest of peace and liberal ideology.  This aggression should not be allowed to stand.  Obama can use North Korea as an example of how liberal democratic ideals halt nuclear proliferation. 

None of what I mention above will happen.  I predict a lot of talk and some UN (meaningless) paper resolutions.  As the world looks on they (Iran, Syria, and others) will realize that nuclear proliferation treaties are meaningless and while Obama is head of the world police state the police are on a (4 to 8 year) donut break. 

No action will be taken.  We will see further increase in nuclear states.

Today is Obama’s opportunity.  But I fear the world has just gotten more dangerous.
