This is a bad time to take action against a volatile state, and it's a bad target. Let's not forget China's ties to North Korea and how they might take any serious action from the West.

Nothing is isolated. Look to the past for the many lessons on this.

Action against North Korea should be a last resort, i.e. if they actually do something threatening, as opposed to posturing.
