Dear Editor:
How did the "warmongers" at the White House react to North Korea's declaration that it
had reprocessed enough nuclear fuel to make about six nuclear bombs?
By insisting on a diplomatic solution through negotiations!
But it is precisely this wrongheaded approach that failed to prevent the current crisis--
and will ensure that North Korea becomes a nuclear power in the coming months.
Negotiations are moral--and practical--only between individuals who are open to reason,
who respect each other's rights, and whose purpose is to exchange values for mutual
benefit, without coercion.
But the North Korean leadership is wildly irrational, has no respect for individual
rights, and seeks, by threatening a nuclear attack, to blackmail the United States into
surrendering its wealth.
The proper approach to eliminate this threat against the United States is not to
negotiate with North Korea's thugs--but to kill them.
Sincerely,
David Holcberg
