North Korea Nuclear Watch: Kick North Korea Out of the United Nations?

The Rosett Report (Via Austin Bay): Expel North Korea
Well, here we are. North Korea says it has conducted a nuclear test. The moment is nigh for the United Nations to follow through on its threat to retaliate with “unspecified action.â€
In the UN arsenal of inanities, that could of course mean anything from the Security Council expressing “deep concern†to the World Food Progam doubling its 2006 allocation of $102 million worth of aid — on Kim Jong Il’s terms — for “transitional assistance.â€
But seriously, if the UN has any interest whatsoever in addressing the clear and present danger of a nuclear-bomb-brandishing North Korea, there is something the UN could do, pronto. It could expel North Korea.
Kim Jong-Il doesn’t give a DAMN about the United Nations and neither should the United States in ultimately dealing with North Korea’s nuclear threat.
Kick them out?
NOPE
DIALOGUE in the United Nations as constrained/meaningless as it may be is better than UNINTENDED DEATH and DESTRUCTION.
