What Happened to Good Journalism?
With all the blame Bush, blame Clinton going at least I hope we can agree that it is good that at least this guy isn’t running things:
There is no precedent for permitting a mentally ill state to possess nuclear weapons. It would be incredibly irresponsible — even suicidal — to let this happen.
Therefore, war: A surprise attacks aimed at swiftly destroying the enemy using all necessary means available to the U.S. military. Though it may seem extreme, the use of sudden, devastating force may be the only way to resolve this problem. Kim and his cohorts are not likely to go quietly into the night. Retirement and exile are out of the question; rather than submit to strangulation by sanctions and blockades, the regime will likely attack South Korea, where thousands of U.S. troops are stationed, and fire missiles at Japan. Even if North Korea is not presently capable of putting a nuclear warhead on a missile, it can strike out with chemical and possibly also biological weapons; and analysts generally agree that the casualties of a new Korean conflict would surpass the numbers of dead and injured in the Korean War.
Preemptive war — crushing the enemy before it can attack South Korea and Japan – better be on the U.S.’s menu of options. Staying the course definitely won’t work here.
Why does the Washington Post Blog publish crap like this?
Speaking of crap Shelton at the Marmot’s Hole found even stinkier crap than this, in the Boston Globe. Is the American media so uninformed about Korean affairs that garbage journalism like this continues to slip through?
At least Robert found the sage of all things Korean Dr. Lankov’s piece in the Wall Street Journal. How come it seems like for every good piece of journalism on the North Korean issue their is at least two articles from idiots which continue to distort the issue?
