And are you in such a rush for a war that could still be avoided, np5491?  Do you not care about the people of south korea, and possibly japan, who are in easy reach of north korea's missiles?  Kim is not suicidal, but he will react with all the weapons at his disposal if trump were to do something stupid.  As I said, war is not inevitable unless diplomacy fails, and we owe it to the rest of the world to make the effort.  Impatience for a resolution is not an excuse for macho recklessness.
