It's time the U.S. dispatch war planes to North Korea, take out every nuclear facility and dare China to do anything about it. At what point do we do something about them. They've shot down a commercial airliner, attacked and destroyed a South Korean submarine in international waters and now this. Some believe that some presidents grow into the presidency. Many of us are hoping this president grows a pair.
