He's Rone-ry, So Rone-ry
Okay, it's not news but I have just been recently reminded how truly insane Kim Jong Ill is. How we tolerate this guy- who's undoubtedly criminally mad- on the international scene is simply beyond me. Let's look at this nutter:
1. It's clear he's anxious to traffic nuclear weapons. Buy, Sell, Trade... he's the Buffalo Exchange of the illicit radiological material. He's so crazy, he's actually admitted to wanting to develop a nuclear arsenal. And the UN and IAEA seemed stunned into inaction by his boldness.
2. His bizarre and cruel regime is funded by the export of narcotics and schwag American dollars.
3. He once kidnapped 2 South Korean movie stars and forced them to star in his own movies filmed on his Universally Insane movie lot.
4. He likes sushi so he kidnapped a sushi chef from Japan who has since run away and still remains in hiding for fear of reprisal.
5. He self-inflicted a famine on his own country responsible for 2 to 4 million deaths.
And that's just a surface cut. Kim's regime is a fun house of horrors. The deeper you look, the weirder it gets. How this guy hasn't earned himself a one way ticket to the Hague is a greater mystery than David Hasselhof and Germany. Unreal. I just hope we (or whomever) does something about him (okay, regime change) before the Beijing Olympics because you know he's dying to make a serious nuisance of himself then. I can only imagine Beijing's response to his shenanigans- a resonse that will undoubtedly spill over into South Korea and we'll be unavoidably involved. So let's save a bunch of lives and Hague this guy before it gets to that. Few men deserve it more.

Actually, with the proper application of force and bribes, bringing him down wouldn't be that tough. As far as the military being overextended- that's only true as far as the System Administrator troops go (i.e. Civil Affairs, Military Police, Engineers, etc.) The Air Force and Navy aren't really doing to much and the sharp end of the Special Operations troops are mostly available as well. The key thing here is that we wouldn't have to do the post-war stuff because everybody else would be highly motivated to do it (China, Japan, S. Korea, Russia). Our military could kill this regime in less than 90 days, no problem.
China isn't interested in doing this now because, well, they have other things on their mind. We'd have to sell them on it. I can't imagine that Beijing wants that knucklehead possessing nukes either. But I guarantee, Kim will make a nuisance of himself pre-Beijing Olympics. The Chinese aren't good at this kind of stuff and we're fully primed after a bit of practice. We have these hard learned operational lessons. We can't be gun shy to use them.

That's the risk, sure. But the question is whether you want to run the risk now when the threat is non-nuclear or do you want to wait for when it is? Because if you wait, all you do is paint yourself into a corner when it comes to options. We haven't seen him be really erratic yet and we won't until he feels like he's losing his power base. Whenever that starts to happen (and who knows when that will be), it better if he doesn't have nukes. Lose llittle or lose big. Those are our choices.
