DID NORTH KOREA JUST PUT ITSELF IN THE CORNER FOR BAD BEHAVIOR?

I am of the opinion that the U.S. did not cause the recent denial of Internet services to North Korea, but have done so, themselves, out of a mixture of fear and shame.  They fear the soft spoken words of Barack Obama more than they ever feared the John Wayne Paper Tiger rhetoric of his predecessors.  They not only fear retaliation, but have given themselves a "time out" for bad behavior as a penance.

  1. That's a distinct possibility, though a denial of service attack could also have Chinese or U.S. origins ... both have reason. I'll withhold judgment until further details are released.

    1. Tongue-in-cheek, I think Herb agrees with you, Greg. And, I've already stated same. Ignoring a coordinating action tests credulity, right?

  2. When it comes to opinion, I shoot first, entertain doubts later.
