Hit first

Here is what the experts say is the problem with North Korea. Almost any plan would bring a high risk of unintended escalation to all-out war, analysts believe. It would place millions of South Korean and Japanese civilians in the cross hairs of North Korean weapons with few guaranteed benefits. Assume that these experts are correct and now watch as North Korea develops the capability of launching nukes from submarines. Next one of those subs hits LA with a nuke. Now we still have the same arguments against retaliation. What do we do? If you say act then you are agreeing that we cannot hit them until they hit us. Is this a sound strategy? It is the government’s responsibility to protect its citizens. Will these citizens agree that we can only strike back when we are hit first? Do we wait for Pearl Harbor?
