You are now in charge, will sanctions work to make North Korea halt their nuclear testing?

Question

Sanctions have not worked in the past when applied to countries like Iraq so what makes this case different. Is this all George Bush can come up with? What would you do if anything to protect world peace?

No Bush bashing here, sanctions may only get them to take more drastic action like a drowning swimmer clings to the person coming to save them and takes them down with them.

Answer 1

I WOULD STOP GETTING ON NATIONAL TV AND CALLING THAT LOON KIM NAMES. I HOPE HE DOES NOT SEE THIS ONE. THAT MAN IS DANGEROUS AS HELLL AND HE HAS OLD FUZZY FACE FROM IRAN ON HIS SIDE WHICH MAKES IT AL THE MORE SCAREY. WE BETTER WALK SOFT OR WE COULD END UP IN A NECULAR WAR WHICK NO ONE NEEDS ON THIS EARTH.

Answer 2

I can't remember a situation where sanctions have resulted in a positive outcome. The governments that incur sanctions have oppositional rulers who will further dig in their heels.

The problem is that technology to destroy the world can quickly become available to all world leaders, that all world leaders can come across the funds to build a program of nuclear destruction and that a few world leaders are destructive and crazy enough to destroy the world.

Americans are learning that the costs are prohibitive to take out these leaders.

That is why scientists like Stephen Hawking ask human survival questions on websites such as this one.

Answer 3

it is not in simple terms the USA yet, you're asking a valid question. First Hiroshima and Nagasaki the place an fullyyt diverse difficulty. Truman had to make a selection on in spite of if to forfeit one hundred's of 1000's of lives (US & Japan) which might have occured if we had hit the seashores of Japan with undemanding weapons for the time of the main suitable around. As you're able to or would possibly not remember, Japan became not likely to resign it is combat for the Emporer and resign became not an selection. next, Kim ill Jong is a maniac. China and Russia does not be condeming this try in the event that they did not already understand this to be genuine. So, we develop into the undesirable adult men lower back by using people who're thinking we are hypocrites. by using how, mutually as all it is happening Hugo is in England telling all of us which will hear that we ought to initiate a conflict with Iran. Being hypocritical looks like it may be the lesser of the evils if lots different crap wasn't happening.

Answer 4

I detect a slight hint of Bush bashing in your question. Yes, sanctions are the best thing Bush can come up with.
Please, ask Ms. Pelosi, Ms Clinton, Mr kerry, Mr Kennedy what their proposals are. I would really like to hear what the democrats would do.
Best suggestion just might get my vote in November. No suggestions, no vote.

Answer 5

No matter what the man does hes wrong.He went to war in Iraq and Afganistan and hes wrong,hes wrong because hes not doing anything with Darfur,hes wrong with sanctions.I myself would just blow Iraq,Iran and North Korea right off the frickin map.Innocent people get in the way tough ****.Getting tired of people busting Bushes *** for everything.Hes not perfect but by gosh I think with all that he has had to deal with plus putting up the the morons in congress and the senate that also bash him at every chance..,I think he has done a pretty decent job.If he bombs N Korea you same people will be here griping because they were no threat to us and we got involved and there was no proof of wmd..,am I right??????Oh yeh and I almost forgot one..,he planted the nuc in N Korea.I am sure we will hear that one too.

Answer 6

I rememeber a little after 9/11/2001 there were pictures of a nuclear plant in N. Korea and how America thought it was active.

We went to Iraq instead and found nothing!

There is and will never be world peace.

Answer 7

What I would do to protect world peace?

I'd make people see that what they consider to be 'right' and 'wrong' are simply subjective views. Nothing is inherently right or wrong, and any country that dictates to another country what they can or can't do, based upon the belief system that holds good in their own backyard, is extremely misguided.

If more people recognised that right and wrong are interchangeable, peace may have a chance.

Answer 8

Leave them alone. They are afraid that someone is trying to take over their country. They want the bomb for protection.
Think about it. This is the information age. We have rocket socientists from other countries studying in the USA.
It is only a matter of time before every country has the bomb.
Russia is falling apart and it has bombs to sell.
Leave them alone. Clinton kept them at bay for 8 years.
Hopefully Bush can do it for 2.

Answer 9

Of course not. North Korea is pretty much self sanctioned. We can't hurt them any worse than they are hurting themselves everyday.

NK just needs to know that one slip up and South Korea is an island.

Answer 10

I'd just emplace a trade embargo on North Korea until they ceased their nuclear production. NK is very poor in natural resources and land, so they'll starve out.

Answer 11

No. The p*ssy of the world - the UN - couldn't enforce the drinking of a glass of water, much less enforcing sanctions.
