Does this mean we have to strike at North Korea? I’m not sure it does, simply because that option is horrific as well. There is no easy way out of the Korea problem. In any case, TNR’s plan does not adequately addressed the difficulties and novelties of our current dilemma. Sadly, whether we ought to strike preemptively or not, I still think we’re eventually going to be pulled into a war with the North Koreans.
