Let’s start with the first, obvious and non-arguable way NOT to bomb North Korea:
With bombs, of any kind, and certainly, absolutely not nuclear bombs. Anybody who suggests such a thing needs to pull their head out of their ass and remember what the hell a nuclear bomb is all about. That option — off the table.
These are people, for Christ’s sake. Real live human beings. The people of North Korea have suffered enough under their silly and ignorant leaders. To bomb them would be—not only stupid, but deeply, painfully inhumane and unjustifiable. Let alone not practical.

Here’s why: We can’t bomb ideas—or stupidity or hatred– out of existence, in North Korea or anywhere else. In fact, dropping bombs would be a stupid, hateful, juvenile absolutely counter-productive act of international criminal proportions.

Let’s get this straight, here in the beginning: Bombing North Korea with bombs would be the absolutely stupidest, irreversibly sadistic and masochistic, juvenile thing we could do. The last thousand years of trying to bomb people—kill people– into submission have taught us this basic lesson. Most of us here on the planet have learned this basic lesson.

So how do we bomb North Korea? Here are five ways to start:
1. With food and medical supplies … tons and tons and tons of the stuff, wave after wave after wave, from all over the world. These folks are starving, for pity’s sake. Feed them. Let the North Korean people know that the rest of the world is aware of their plight, and we care. “I have hungered, and you gave me food.” Duh.
2. With communication devices, Tens of thousands, if not millions of communications devices—satellite dishes, satellite telephones, televisions, antennae, plain old ham radios, for pity’s sake. Transistor radios. Let the north Korean people see what the rest of the world is doing.
3. 4 million copies of the picture of North Korea at night, compared to South Korea to the south and China to the north. A picture is worth a thousand words.
4. With Chevy’s, Fords, Subarus, Toyotas and Hondas—all with full tanks of gas. Again, thousands and thousands and thousands of them. Give these folks some mobility. And then maybe 1,00,000 high end bicycles, which they are more familiar with. Let them experience what the rest of the world is experiencing.

5. And, as a final fun gesture, bomb them with hot air balloons— again, thousands and thousands of them, with full propane tanks, so they can lift up and away, go north and south to get away from the craziness that they have been living with for sixty years and more.

Yes, of course, people will say these are goofy, unworkable ideas. But certainly much less goofy and unworkable than the idea of bombing them with any type of war material. I’m only half kidding about these ideas. In fact, less than half. I’m only 1/10th kidding. 9/10th serious.

We have to outgrow the military mindset that has taken over the world. We must move away from the military mindset that sees “us and them.” See through this false view of reality. It’s a new millennium. If we are to survive as a species, we need a new mindset. These are just first ideas about how we can deal with North Korea. Obviously, others of you have similar, non-military solutions to the current state of affairs.

The total cost of these suggested “bombings” would be much less expensive than any military bombing we might engage. And they would help not only the U.S. economy but the entire world economy. And would give evidence of the true “American way” of doing things—innovative, fun, unexpected, practical.

These are my suggestions. I think it behooves all of us to come up with a few… just to counter the crazy thinking now going on in Washington, and the White House. Yes, we will “take care of it.” In a way that actually works!
Your suggestions are welcome.
