This is generally a response to the "North Korea Spazzing Out" thread (which doesn't need to be bumped again). The thread was generally about the fact that N. Korea is threatening to some. Although most of us agreed that NK wouldn't use their nukes for no reason (The whole "Don't start nothin', won't be nothin'" analogy, I like to call it). But, even though I agreed that this is true, I couldn't find anything to hold them back. Now I've found it:
Wars should be limited to achieving the political goals that started the war (e.g., territorial control) and should not include unnecessary destruction
Wars should be brought to an end as quickly as possible
People and property that do not contribute to the war effort should be protected against unnecessary destruction and hardship
I may have read the data wrong, but I rest my case: North Korea makes a stupid move, we kick their ass. Any comments on this?
