North Korea Summed Up Nicely

Jay over at Wizbang has posted a great summary of the attitudes and situation of Kim Jong-Il and North Korea. My favorite part his his list of things that Kim Jong-Il would be wise to remember:

1) The nation he is threatening is the one that invented nuclear weapons.
2) It is also the only nation to ever use those weapons in anger.
3) He has, at most, a handful of nuclear weapons, and we are a very, very big nation.
4) We have a hell of a lot more of them, the ability to deliver them to any spot in the world, and he has a very small nation.
5) Our national resolve is largely dependent on the occupant of the White House.
6) The current occupant of the White House has already invaded and overthrown two governments who pissed us off.

    Right. There’s no reason for North Korea to have nuclear weapons except to deter the United States (et al; South Korea is not likely to attack, but Japan has a history with Korea) from doing an preemptive attack on them. It seems to be working so far.
