Let’s not get excited about nuclear attacks

So North Korea threatens to lob a fast one over Hawaii on July 4. I trust we won’t overreact. Prudence dictates a mesured response, one expressing disapproval, to be sure. However, we should be careful not to provoke North Korea and jeopardize the all-important peace process.
It is true that the President lived in Hawaii for many years. Crucially, however, he doesn’t live there now. His racist grandmother did, of course, but she has since passed away.
It’s not as if we’re talking about Chicago.
One thing is for sure. If (and I sincerely hope it doesn’t happen), Honolulu is levelled to the ground in a nuclear attack, it will have been George W. Bush’s fault, and one more example of the mess the President has inherited.
