A lefty internationalist wants North Korea to launch their missile. Why? Money quote:
Moreover, this New York Times article indicates that the United States is conducting secret talks with the North Korean regime, attempting to dissuade them. One can only hope that talk of "incentives," similar to the six-party talks, is markedly absent from the current discussion. After all, one knows what those ‘incentives’ are: money, mostly, and possibly a peace treaty. Both of these options are undesirable where a holocaust state such as North Korea is concerned.
As this goes to press ‚Äì , er, . . .’server,’ it’s just approaching 9:00 pm here on the Korean peninsula. It’s been about 24 hours since the North Korean regime loaded their Tapedong-2 missile with fuel, meaning that only about 24 more hours of shelf-life remain. So, come on ‘Dear Leader’ Kim, just try it.
Keep it up, sir, and the UN may finally finish the job that it started in the early 1950s.
I wonder of there wasn’t a possibility of a real right-left alliance in America against tyrannies with WMDs after 9/11, if a president had been able to unite the country and the world. I guess we’ll never know. And I take my responsibility for not being cautious enough before the Iraq war.
