I told you so, so why aren't we dealing with it?

[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] Okay, so now those wacky North Koreans are even refusing direct negotiations with the US, which they were previously demanding. As I understand it, refusal to negotiate would normally be a direct prelude to war. But of course, after going hunting for a big cache of nukes that didn't exist, it's virtually impossible to now lay the smackdown on a country that definitely does have nukes. But hey, who cares -- we've got lots of oil now! ... Yes, I do know that attacking North Korea would be a massively messy situation even under the best of circumstances, even messier than Iraq is right now. I was being partially facetious with my previous paragraph. However, while everyone's pleading for North Korea to come back to the table, nobody's doing anything else about it. It's like the world's shaking their collective heads, muttering "shame, shame... someone should do something about it..." but desperately hoping they don't have to do anything themselves. Y'know, everyone complains about the US being the only superpower now, but is there any other country out there -- or better yet, a group of countries -- that's even [i]trying[/i] to do something in situations like these? If everyone else wants to change the Order Of Things in this world, why can't they be more proactive? (And before anyone flames me into oblivion for that last musing, I know that conflict -- and worse, open warfare -- should never be sought after, but neither should it be avoided at all costs. I'm afraid that too many countries are becoming afraid to do something about this growing crisis.) [/QB][/QUOTE]
