international community shall not take these threats lightly. North Korea is a nuclear country run by a malevolent dictator; therefore, military action may be the only solution to eliminate the threat.

Help the Rwandans On April 6, 1994 the United States and the United Nations stood by and watched the Rwandan Hutus wipe out 800,000 Tutsis.
