Hillary Clinton is in deep doo-doo. While Obama was apologizing all over Europe and the Middle East, she was supposed to be doing the same duty in Asia, but she missed the stop in North Korea where she was supposed to grovel before Kim Jong Il and beg his forgiveness for our actions in the Korean conflict of 1950 - 53.
Kim is so pissed-off about the snub that he has been buiding and blowing up nuclear devices, and firing off missiles like bottle rockets. He has repudiated the 1953 cease-fire which ended the conflict that never really ended, and has threatened to attack any U.S. or S. Korean Naval or merchant ships found in a west coastal area where the boundary is disputed.
Kim probably can't hit the U.S. with one of his nukes yet (unless he sticks it in a shipping container on a freighter). But he could easily strike our allies, S. Korea and Japan, both of which have a large U.S. military population. Would Obama throw them all under the bus? - Well, he might send a strongly worded memo to the United Nations Security Council demanding that North Korea be censured for its actions. And he might threaten to stop sending them foreign aid if they ever nuke anyone again.
Should have made that apology trip, Hillary. Then Kim would see that we're a strong, resolute nation and he wouldn't dare act hostile.
