    We are not going to war with North Korea over three idiots who tempted fate and lost. There are issues there much more important.

    Plus we will not motivate more American hate by eliminating the North Korean threat should that happen.

    This hostage taking thing is immaterial to the decisions surrounding how to deal with North Korea. If you go to North Korea for any reason, plan on not being allowed to leave. If you do visit and are allowed to leave, go buy a lottery ticket as soon as possible.

    Probably because they had rights at one time which they took for granted

    It worked out bad. After initial success, a President change brought our troops home too early and all the hard work in Iraq....had to be worked out again.

    My turn. How did not toppling Saddam work out? You've repeated your support for the first Gulf War leaving Saddam in power both to terrorize his own people and the entire region. How did that work out? Your endless inspection, Resolution, blockade, and sanction keeping Saddam contained, how did that work out for ya, donttread?


    Non-interventionist would not be ready to do the same damned thing in Syria. Hummm. Seems like isolations don't make "mistake based history"
    Isolationists make no history. They're conquered.

    The hostage taken is an obvious outrage and cannot be tolerated. And these three can be used in negotiations.....not with the North Koreans....but with the Chinese and Russians. Who it must be made clear, there isn't a nation on the face of the earth that is permitted to detain American citizens without just cause, that is an act of war. Thus the US use this obvious poke and kidnapping endeavors by Kim in explaining to the two regional powers that it's high f'n time they did something about Jabba the Hut.

    You can't seem to grasp the big picture on this one.
