One MOAB Would probably take out his missles. Imagine a ball of fire hundreds of feet high. It may not destroy the bunkers, but anything and anybody above ground would be fried both inside and out.

As the latest launch failures demostrated, we do not have a full accounting of where the launch sites are. The areas that were under observation were not where the launches took place from.

North Koera has aparently declared war on an underwater city.

The only thing that they have proved conclusively, is that whenever they launch from whatever facility . . .

they can only hit 'the drink'

If so, then SEATO needs to come into play. Also, where is GreenPeace?

I would have voted down sanctions as well.

If we have learned ANYTHING from Iraq...it is that sanctions NEVER work. Sanctions only hurt the civlian population while barely touching the upper echelon of the government. It is a crime against humanity, and to the North Korean population to impose sanctions on them

Yep. We also need to do more work like the FBI did to cut off North Korea's money laundering and counterfeiting programs. That hits them where it really hurts.
