...and kills 40-50 sailors in the process, you can't just sit around and do nothing. This is about as weak a response from South Korea as one could expect.

The sunshine policy was the "cooler heads" prevailing and it is pretty clear things still haven't much improved.

North Korea simply has to be allowed to fail. No more aid of any kind should be given to them. If they respond with threats, South Korea and its allies must remain firm. If they respond with violence, South Korea and its allies must respond in kind.

It is far past time to completely isolate the North and let it crumble. If China wants to pay to keep it afloat, fine. Otherwise, no more food aid, no more heating oil, no more anything.
