Claudia Rosett has a good idea[*1] :
But seriously, if the UN has any interest whatsoever inaddressing the clear and present danger of a nuclear-bomb-brandishingNorth Korea, there is something the UN could do, pronto. It could expelNorth Korea.
That might not solve the long-festering problemof a totalitarian state that to this day runs a Stalin-style gulag,peddles missiles, narcotics and counterfeit currency, and has starvedto death at least one million of its own people and staked its fortuneson a nuclear arsenal. But kicking North Korea out of the UN would atleast provide the sort of minimal diplomatic gesture of which the UN ispresumably capable.
Definitely something to think about.
