That was the Marshall Plan, and the beneficiary was western Europe. Our allies, not adversaries, the western Europeans. Interesting to think how different things might have turned out if we'd aimed our benevolence a thousand miles or so further east.<br /><br />Excellent, thought provoking post. :)<br /><br />SLowandslowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08608734222483888884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-83712337870749839002013-03-16T17:04:50.426-04:002013-03-16T17:04:50.426-04:00I agree with ya, Joe.

We have a few hundred hi-tech devices just sitting... unused... in holes in North Dakota and Montana. I think we should gift the NORKs with about a couple o' dozen of those, fused for air-bursts to minimize fallout... right now. North Korea is a small country, so the target set and solution would be fairly simple. The South Koreans could then go in and build that infrastructure you're talking about after a cooling-off period of about three years, or so.<br /><br />And then? Problem solved, like you said.<br /><br />PS: We should also send a note to the Ayatollahs sayin' sumthin' to the effect of "Pay attention. You could be next."<br /><br />PPS: It's prolly a Good Thing that I'm not king.

The approaches we've always used clearly don't work, and the philosophy of giving has to a better way to begin with.
