@Fisherman: Ok, so you think they should have nuclear missiles?
You know they are going to fly them across the US to the atlantic the moment they get them right?
You know they know that if a bit of conventional artillery aimed at some far-away city scares us shitless and leave us paralyzed to take action then, guess what, nuclear ICBMs must mean they can invade South Koreas northern provinces and expect everyone to go: uuuhhhh... that is very bad... but we cannot upset North Korea or they will nuke Dallas. Better leave this one to China!
Ppl are not thinking this one through. "leave it to china" is like sending a letter to the local crime boss telling him we would rather he didn't sell crack to the kids at school. Guess what: it is what he does!
