Obama and North Korea

The New York Times: An interesting editorial by the Liberal New York Times on Obama and Korea, the NYT writes the following, " Loudly castigating and threatening North Korea and then failing to implement sanctions is worse than doing nothing at all..." Never thought I would say this but agree with this sentiment, if Obama at the end of day does nothing after stating that words mean something in a speech in Prague, Czech Republic then this will give a green light to Iran to go nuclear, this could lead to Israel striking Iran and Iran hitting US forces in Iraq. Thus there is a linkage from Asia to the Middle East, also the UN has to show that it has teeth or it will go the way of the League of Nations before World War Two. If the Obama Administration is seen as weak, think Jimmy Carter, and lets recall the result of that, the USSR invaded Afghanistan and there was a revolution in Iran, this lead to the election of Ronald Reagan in 1980. The secular second coming has to get the fact that history was before him and history shows lessons, only a Star in his how mind thinks political reality wont affect him and that his words mean more that political reality.
