Bingo! And quite effective. Hell, they can shake down the most "powerful" Country on the Globe, and skate away with piles of $$$$$$ while they laugh.
If Obama would just confiscate some more of your money, we could send it to N. Korea and resolve all this mess peacefully. He simply needs to declare everybody who makes more than 25,000 dollars per year as wealthy and tax accordingly.
It's even simpler than that. They just want us to recognize them as a Nuclear power. Kerry just said this morning that we won't. Duh, they have nuclear weapons. Wake up! Do you have a workable plan to get them to give them up? I didn't think so. Are we going to start playing this same game with Iran later this year, too? Hello, is anybody home at the White House? N.K. has said they are going to restart the Yongbyon nuclear reactor that can produce bomb making plutonium. It was shuttered under a deal with George Bush. They offered to keep it shut last year but Obama ignored them and now, here we are.
