The world power says N. Korea should be punished...?

Question

We all know made in Korea textiles, household goods and toys. Can any one tell me, how many of us know N. Korea had the nuclear power station? Who gave all necessary equipments to develop this nuclear power? If the leader of this country is bad as Saddam Hussain then why was he still in power while Saddam Hussain is in custody? Why not the world famous leaders did not go to N. Korea to over throw the leader. Now this country is a threat to western world should it be punished?

Answer 1

We already did punish them, they can't be trusted. No matter what we do they seem to be begging for their own extinction.

Clinton dealth with N Korea while he was in office and tried to appease them by giving them supplies for it. I'm not saying anything bad about CLinton, but what I am, saying is that we have tried working with them, to the extent that yes we did give them some of the tools they needed to build their bomb.

We did it conditionally, they weren't supposed to be developing the bomb. We did it so they wouldn't develop the bomb. Of course they fed us a line and did what they want. Just like Iran.

These nations, their leaders can't be trusted. Their word is meaningless. Same with Sadaam in Iraq. All of these nations are supposed to be part opf a global community working together in the UN. The reality is only the civilized nations can be held to their word. The others ALWAYS lie. History has proven this out which is why everyone talks about the UN being a useless exercise that we are paying for and that is ultimately feeding money to these uncivilized countries. Remember oil for food? Remember all those great UN countries like France Germany and Russia that were found to have embezzled money that was supposed to feed oppressed people in uncvilized nations? A lot went in to the pockets of crooked politicians in the UN who work for these third world countries.

The point is civilized nations can be trusted to hold their word, uncivilized nations have proven they can't.

There's lot of people who hate Bush for going to war. The reality is if these peopel checked their facts they'd find that people we go to war with have always put one over on us after we did take the peaceful approach. Iraq and North Korea are both excellent examples of this. We went the peaceful route during the Clinton administration in both these cases - we appeased North Korea and Iraq by going through the UN and having conversations where these people signed documents and gave us their word they'd use what we gave them to help their people. They didn't. They lied. Every time.

SO what do we do? In the case of North Korea the problem is bigger. They can restart the arms race, which means in the past we agreed to stop developing nuclear weapons along with all the other nations. Of course we kept our word, and they didn't because they just wanted the money. Other nations sold North Korea parts to make nuclear weapons, and more impiortantly whether N Korea uses them or not, it restarts the arms race because countries that did go along with stopping arms development are going to stand up and say, "we didn't develop them under the condition that other peple didn't, now that we find they have we are vulnerable and we need to have them too."

Now we are in a position where everyone can justify having them because others can't be trusted, and when enough third world countries and uncivilized cultures have them (Turkey now wants them, Japan, Egypt at the very least) it's only a matter of time before one of these monkeys with a cel phone gets mad enough to trigger global devastation.

Is there anything that can be done?

With N Korea we are relying China to step in and get them to cooperate. If they don't Japan will arm themselves and a lot of people will start getting twitchy.

Most of the nations in the world are cooperating now. But as they are learning thanks to the UN not enforcing the Iraqi resolutions as well as others, they may only "seem" to be cooperating so distrust is growing everywhere.

N Korea is basically developing these weapons so they can make money. They want to sit down with us and tell us to give them what they want or they wll get it by selling nuclear weapons materials to other countries like Iran. Yes, they are strong arming us, and I mean us, US. They want to sit down and talk with us, not the UN.

Should N Korea be punished? Well we did punish them with sanctions in the past, the question now is whether or not someone is going to get rid of all these world leaders whose word cannot be trusted.

Civilization is about respect and honoring your word. The social contract says that if you don't kill me I won't kill you. IF I say that, then you see me sneaking up behind you with an axe do you a) believe me when I say I was not going to kill you and contniue to trust me at your own risk or b) recognize I can't be trusted and kill me first?

I always learned it's better to error on the side of what you know. Actions are truer than words.

Answer 2

Why didn't Bush do anything other than the six-party peace talks to stop N. Korea during his 6 years in office? Now, all of a sudden after it's too late he says actions must be taken.
And before they started their nuclear program, Kim Jong il said he will not let what happened to Saddam, happen to him. Bush could have done far more during his 6 years instead on focusing on the unnecessary front in Iraq. I am aware of the assistance Clinton gave the N. Koreans, but in the 1990's N. Korea was not developing nuclear weapons. He was after the Iraq war.
What does that tell you. Hmmm?

Answer 3

North Korea has taken advantage of the west's (including America's) goodwill. America gave NK the ability to generate electricity through a nuclear power plant, a billion dollars to help feed their people and oil shippings to help them. In return they promised to not purse a nuclear weapons plan.

What do they do instead, keep the billion themselves as their people starve, using the power planet to build nuclear weapons and then insist that we listen to them and give them more!

They have proven that they can't be trusted and have become an intolerable threat to neighbouring countries, including our allies in Japan, and South Korea.

NK must be punished, the carrots have already been given and now it's time for the stick.

If China fears the collapse of NK, and they have a right to fear it given the possibility of a mass influx of refugees, then they must work with us to punish them and remove the nukes from the peninsula.

Personally, I don't think there can NOT be a war, it will be horrible and a massive loss of life and hardships for both North and South Korea but I think the country needs to be unified and thats the only way for a lasting peace. With Kim Jong and his party arrested or killed.

The footage smuggled out of NK shows nothing short of crimes against humanity against it's own people

Answer 4

It is a sovereign country. What do you suggest? Another Iraq? The USA is already in enough trouble. You don't just go punishing other countries as if they were naughty children. Korea is not a threat to anyone. It's just providing for its own defense in an increasingly hostile world. What would you do if someone threatened you?

Answer 5

i think you have north and south korea confused. The south sells us stuff, the north takes our offerings of food and oil and calls it tribute for them kicking us out 50 years ago. They are a very smart hardworking people in the north, and with a bit of help from china and a couple other countries managed to put together the nukes. The leader of this country is probably worse than sadaam, but there is no oil there to make it worth the trouble. And it would be trouble cause a brutal madman idiot like sadaam with his house of cards army is a whole nother story from a brutal dictator with a huge army that would probably fight.

Answer 6

i'm terrified. I stay contained in united statesa., and in spite of the shown fact that folk save asserting that North Korea isn't technologically stronger sufficient to nuke us, i'm tremendously much a hundred% optimistic that in the event that they launch a missile, whether it hits us or no longer, it is going to start a conflict. everybody is familiar with, regrettably that united statesa. is a tad bit set off chuffed, and we don't desire plenty provocation to pass to conflict. If that occurs, it truly is in all risk going to be a international conflict difficulty, which would be a million cases worse, because of the fact NK has allies who certainly do have valid nuclear weapons (a minimum of i think of... i ought to be incorrect nevertheless, i do no longer comprehend plenty approximately politics). the two way the cookie crumbles, the placement isn't good. i do no longer desire to stay in the international anymore...

Answer 7

All the world is going to do is make it harder for North Korea to get materials needed to make those weapons. What a joke. We all know they can get that stuff from anywhere for a price and an embargo on goods they can get anywhere and do it secretly is hardly a punishment.

Answer 8

It would be impossible to punish the leaders of this country.

We would only be punishing the poor and dispossessed by imposing trade sanctions.

The powerful government would feel no pain.

Answer 9

punish that m o r o n kim chong ill and the commies government.
common people have nothing to do with that, i guess
