...just happened. Once it happened, I had a lot of choices to make. The street fighter in me wants to lash out. But the host in me said this is extraordinary television and don't let it end. I knew this would be great TV. Cruise had no intention of listening to me. I was focused on seeing an interesting side of him. At the same time, I was watching this guy come into my living room and not keeping it a professional discussion. He was pointing at me. That changed everything, and I never looked back...

Fear of provoking military escalation from the North Korean side may even make Beijing and Seoul think twice about U.S. calls for the interdiction of ships sailing into and out of North Korean ports. And nuclear weapons only increases those perils...
...that North Korea must be punished for crossing a red line, but their aversion to sanctions is based on fears of potentially cataclysmic chaos accompanying the collapse of the regime in Pyongyang, and those fears won't have been eased by the regime's demonstration of a capacity to lash out with nuclear weapons if it is being choked to death.
