This was a well organized logical construct for Title. It was addressing the Obama administration's menu of options considering the present tool-kit; as opposed to a number of other articles I've read that presume facts not in play. It asks relevant questions and inspires relevant questions as opposed to the straw-man arguments that have been ubiquitous in jingoistic editorial comments that have as little relevance as propaganda from Pyongyang. The article did a very good job of fairly explaining some of the challenges and stimulating serious consideration.

This is as much a battle of sustainable strategy as it is about using the appropriate tactic and the timing thereof. It also makes the point that the UN currently has the legal authority of a Senior Citizens' watch patrol in a South Florida retirement community. Not that there isn't value, but their is great danger in the UN trying to make the enforcement case with anything else other than lip service.
