When my children were younger, I wanted to find a simple way to explain the difference between free market democracy and closed market totalitarianism. All I had to do was show them a picture like the one below.
"Look at North Korea." I would point to where all the darkness is. I would then point to the little dot of light and say, "This is the city where Kim Jong Il lives. He's the dictator of North Korea. He likes to have the lights on for himself. But he doesn't like the lights on for everyone else." Then I would point to South Korea and say, "Look at all the people there that have lights on at night. That place has a lot of freedom and democracy. Which country would you rather live in?" Of course, they both pointed to South Korea.
It's time to give South Korea some nuclear missiles. Either that ... or we're going to have to make some tactical strikes against the North's nuclear capability. I know this opens up a can of worms ... but what else can be done? We can wait for Kim Jong Il to finally kick the bucket and hope that his 27 year old son will be more level headed than his crazy old man. What are the chances? Somebody has to say, "Look Kim Jong, if you continue with this behavior, your wonderful facility with all of your centrifuges ... the one you like to show off to American college professors .... we will reduce it to a pile of ashes. You got it crazy fool?" Unfortunately, Hillary may be a little shy regarding the North Koreans. After all, wasn't all of that appeasing going on with Kim Jong and the transfer of missile technology to China via the Loral corporation going on during her husbands presidential administration? Yes it was. John Bolton ... we need you now.
