Well, it was a poorly phrased rhetorical question, I concede. As a simple question, I don't see it as weak. I am not sure how such a blunt question can be weak (or strong for that matter) > >And why isn't the US invading North Korea? I will happily accept that the answer may be obvious, hence the rhetorical nature of it, and even that it could be considered a stupid question. Anyway. What do you think should be done about North Korea? It is troublesome that such an unstable state has nuclear weapons. And an apparent lack of interest in its own peoples welfare.
