Deep Kimchi - The coddling and pacification of the Clinton years may have finally borne fruit; North Korea apparently has nuclear weapons.
Critics of the military, especially liberals, like to spout the simple bromide, "the military always trains to fight the last war". As we've seen in Afghanistan, our special forces are perfectly adept at fighting this war - but the pacifist left is pretty obsessed on the past. Suddenly, says the looney left, all future terrorist attacks will involve box cutters and airliners - as if the extemporization sIf the terrorists of September 11 added an insujlt to grave injury, it was that they gave ammunition (as it were) to those short-sighted liberals who believe the notion of missile defense is itself obsolete.
If the reports are correct, Pyongyang is one missile booster away from being able to cure that misconception. Wonder how many dead Angelenos or Seattleites it'll take before the left becomes obsessed with missile defense (and ignores unconventional warfare in turn)?
