Airstrikes are needed... Enough is Enough. This is already looking to be more powerful blast than the last test.

We have tried EVERY tool at our disposal to peacefully convince them this is wrong. How many tons of food shipped that could have gone to nations that give a damn?

North Korea is a threat now in my view. Diplomacy has failed and now airstrikes need to start in my view in order to reduce their nuke ability. And their ability to research.

If the "big stick" was a remotely viable option, wouldn't GW "Im a war president" Bush jumped at it?

I agree, bribing the North Koreans hasn't worked.

Pressuring / bribing the Chinese to pressure the North Koreans is about the only option available.

Send a WARNO to the DRB at Fort Bragg, just in case.
Watch, and wait

Don't give an consessions to Pyongyang
Ask the PRC to restrict what little trade crosses the Yalu
Tell Pyongyang via some neutral go between (Swiss maybe) that they aren't getting nothing from no body, and if they think they are, that they are fooling themselves
Oh, and freeze what offshore accounts the DPRK has, that you can

Are they a threat just because they have nukes?
