That question raises the stakes even more.

Over the course of the past week there are enough reports and credible rumors circulating just below the surface to make the following assessment and forecast of near-term possibilities or probabilities:
1.) The now offically acknowledged nuclear test conducted by North Korea a week ago yesterday was actually a test of the first-stage of a two stage hydrogen bomb. The sub-kiloton blast is assessed to have been a complete success.
2.) The much-rumored upcoming test is expected or anticipated in US military cirlces to be a test of both stages of a hydrogen warhead. The consensus is that North Korea plans to test its hydrogen bomb as soon as possible, possibly sometime this week.
More here. Oh great, the story id on this article is 666...
Hydrogen Bombs on missiles that can reach Alaska or the West Coast are no laughing matter. I believe should the dog-eating, pot-bellied, Elvis-impersonating Dictator of North Korea explode an H-Bomb, we should take him, and his regime out. Period. End of Paragraph.
Should we be so under the control of Leftists that we cannot mount the proper response, it will be time for people everywhere to practically prepare for the detonation of an H-Bomb in or over a Western City (I include South Korea and Japan in this category), or a detonation over the Continental United States designed to deliver an Electro-Magnetic Pulse, or EMP.What would your life be without electricity, automobiles, computers?
How would you heat or cool your home, get to work, or the food get to the supermarket, no music, TV, internet? Would you be prepared?
Not just from the North Koreans...the Pakistanis, Iranians, or someone else could receive a warhead for cash. They've already done it with missiles and other munitions.
