“Don't reward bad behaviour.” “A club is the only medicine for a mad dog” North Korea – Strategies that should also be adopted against Islamists

The communist North Korea attacked the South Korean Island of Yeonpyeong a few days ago by firing 50 heavy artillery shells, killing two marines³ and two civilians,⁴ injuring 17 other marines and three civilians, and setting 60 civilian homes on fire.³

The North claims it was attacked first but the South said it was carrying out military exercises and had only fired to the West of the Island, outside the North's territory.³

The attack came days after 'Pyongyang defiantly showed off a new uranium-enrichment facility to the world' and 'eight months after the North had torpedoed a South Korean warship killing 46 sailors'.³

Analysts say the latest attack was 'yet another calculated attempt by the regime to exploit divisions and extract concessions from the international community.'³

South Korean newspaper Dong-A Ilbo recommended that “A club is the only medicine for a mad dog” and demanded 'a strong military' response.⁴

Chosun Ilbo daily said “North Korea is putting a dagger to our throat," and also called for a strong response saying “Let's retaliate against North Korea's illegal attacks immediately, sternly and precisely.”⁴

 Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff said on CNN's 'Fareed Zakaria GPS' program that the North Korean leader Kim Jong Il "is belligerent, dangerous, consistently destabilizing and is only predictable in his unpredictability.”²

"I am one who believes we shouldn't be rewarding bad behaviour here. And yet he continues to generate that behaviour in hopes that he can get attention - enough attention to move in some direction that's, quite frankly, not determined," Mullen said.¹

Comment: North Korea and Iran have ties and both behave similarly. The chest-pounding violent belligerent attention seeking behaviour of North Korea can also be seen in many other different situations from the individual up to the civilisational level. No matter whether individual terrorists or groups of nations behave this way, they should never be rewarded. Instead they should be punished.
