Obama's Big Test by Kim Jong Il

Picture these two scenarios:

My three year old daughter throws a book at my one year old daughter's head, in direct violation of the rules as she knows them.

Response #1: "Daughter, your father and I are going to meet in two months to decide your punishment! We may or may not send you a letter condemning your actions."

Response #2: "You go sit on the naughty stool right now! And if you do it again I'm taking away your favorite doll for the rest of the day."

When N. Korea launched a long-range rocket this weekend in direct violation of a UN resolution, what was Obama's response most similar to? Which response would have been most effective?

"North Korea broke the rules, once again, by testing a rocket that could be used for long-range missiles," Obama said in Prague. "This provocation underscores the need for action, not just ... in the U.N. Security Council, but in our determination to prevent the spread of these weapons."

THEN, the UN couldn't even agree on their response, failing to even issue a condemnation! They couldn't even agree to reprimand him!! Why are we even a member of this useless organization? What are our membership dues up to now?

OK, so the UN's useless, big surprise, so what are you going to do now Obama? Answer: absolutely nothing. I wonder what Kim Jong Il's up to? Now that he knows the most powerful country in the world is going to stand idly by while he turns Seoul into a "sea of fire", as threatened in the past? Is he going to wait 4 or 8 years until we hopefully have a president who will actually take action? Click here and here to read more.
