OUT WITH THIS THORN

North Korea has been a thorn in America's side forever. We have humbled ourselves to sign a truce, we have humiliated ourselves to get the Pueblo crew home. What is left to do?

These guys are sticking it to us, and I am sick of it. Instead of us worrying about them, it's time for them to worry about us. We have proved our ability to negotiate. Isn't it time to act?
