EXCERPT:This week Australian Defense Minister, Dr. Brendan Nelson said during an ABC interview in Washington that Australia is putting its bets on the UN defusing the North Korean missile crisis.

"If the missile is, however, launched at some point, naturally we would expect that the world would respond by dealing with it appropriately," Dr Nelson said on ABC radio. "We would express our views through the United Nations."

Here's the problem with trusting the United Nations to handle North Korea. It is a hand-off, not a solution.
