For decades, North and South Korea have been in a so called "armistice." While they have been relatively peaceful towards each other, fear and tension is still a daily problem between the two Korea's.
The dictator of North Korea, Kim Jong Il, has been on a rampage to obtain status as a nuclear superpower. He runs his country like Hitler ran Nazi Germany. There are forced labor camps, government propaganda news networks, mass media censorship, and they don't even have enough economic resources to leave the electricity on a night.
North Korea is clearly not a stable country. Only a few months ago did a North Korea submarine sink a South Korean warship that killed dozens of South Korean sailors. Today, North Korea engaged South Korea by firing multiple shells at a South Korean island. The attacks killed two members of the South Korean Army and dealt damage to nearby infrastructure.
When is North Korea going to learn? This genocidal regime is a threat to every peace-loving nation around the world. The coalition of free nations around the world must assemble and make this regime fall no matter what the cost. The U.S. must spearhead efforts to remove from power dictators like Kim Jong Il and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. When rogue nations threaten the peaceful way of life, they must be dealt with and noted as sad, bizarre chapters in human history as Reagan would have put it.
The U.S. must take a stand just as it did with Soviet Union and just as it did with Adolf Hitler. North Korea is a threat to every sovereign citizen of the world and it's brutal rejection of the natural rights of man cannot be tolerated. South Korea should take an assertive role and strike back at North Korea, and the rest of the world must convince China that they are supporting an unpopular, despotic, and totalitarian regime and that it cannot be allowed. This situation should not be allowed to escalate to the tipping point where North Korea really is a substantial nuclear threat.
Will South Korea follow the route of Ronald Reagan or will they follow the route of Neville Chamberlain? They are faced with an imminent and decisive choice. If South Korea decides to respond, then they must commit to another war. Is this war worth it? This is the million dollar question. If they do take up arms against North Korea, then all hell will break lose. However, if they don't, then they will only provoke the ego of North Korea. This will be the second recent attack in which they have remained quiet. Where is the breaking point for South Korea?
It is time for South Korea to take a stand and stop living in fear. With the aid of the United States, Russia, and NATO, I don't believe they will have a fighting chance. Nonetheless, if China get's involved it's a whole new story. Will China side with the rogue regime or will they stand for the values of every free nation on this planet?
