[quote=afx114][quote=sd_matt]I wonder how much of Obama believes in appeasement and how much of him believes that he really is slick enough to disarm NK with words.[/quote]

What would you have him do? Invade North Korea?

For a person who seems to value pragmatism, that’s a rather unsophisticated view, isn’t it? There are other options rather than invading and going to war with North Korea.

All we’re saying is that appeasement is not the answer and will more likely make the problem worse. It’s better for the U.S. to use those other options before being painted into a corner where the only option is military (where the situation in Iran is leading to).

Feeding the alligator hoping he’ll eat you last is never going to work.
