It's "loony" to just bend over and take that kind of thing from thugocrats like Kim Jong Il- there's a difference between speaking loudly and carrying a stick that may or may not have bad intelligence concerning wmds in certain rogue states in Arabia, and speaking firmly and carrying an actual big stick, to paraphrase Mr. Roosevelt.
