Obama warned North Korea on Sunday that if they did not change their ways they would not be rewarded. By rewarded he meant such as aid from the United States more particularly food. Even though the United Nations sanctions should not allow North Korea to launch a satellite that they plan on using, the people in power or new leaders are pressing forward with the task at hand. It was funny to me that we spoke about the social cognitive theory today, because warning the North Korean's shows that Obama has been watching their actions and therefore judging them for their actions. North Korea hasn't been the only ones spoken to. Obama expressed his frustration with the Chinese for saying that their actions, such as the mistreatment of their people, has led to the likes of North Korea's constant defiance.
In saying all that, I believe the author depicted Obama as being totally in the right. I guess there is bias there obviously because an American paper should usually support our government. More importantly, it is simply because President Obama is right and should continue to keep an eye on these countries. I guess I just want to know where you draw the line between getting involved and just watching over them.
