doubt have preemptive strikes against multiple targets and thousands of people
who want no part of Kim's war will die. The strange thing is he went to school
in Switzerland and so he must know the power w/which any strike against
him would bring ..... no planes or aircraft would get off the ground, the
command and control structure would either be all dead or on the run,
communications would not exist, any movement of troops or equipment
would be suicidal, his Navy would be sunk, missiles would be hit on their
launching pads, any artillery piece that fired would be targeted and hit w/ in minutes
of firing, and so many more lethal things. Not mention all the people in the
South that might be killed.

Although I am no fan of the military industrial complex but what would happen to N. Korea
would be staggering. i hope we just give them some food and they back down.
