Kim Jong Il isn't crazy, he's in a bubble. His advisers act as his link to the outside world, and they're all yes men in a big way, a way that makes the Bush Administration look like the most healthy and rational government in recent history. Obviously the trick to Kim Jong Il is bursting his bubble. How do we do that? Punishment. What kind of punishment? Sanctions. China's not interested in vetoing security council actions against North Korea anymore, and the current sanctions (on military and luxury items) aren't enough. How about everything but food and medicine?
Something occurs to me: has there ever been revolution in a country with nuclear weapons? While I don't like Il in power, I like the idea of chaos there even less.
