GROUP_ ACTIVITY:
OPTION #1
Ban North Korea from participating in any future Olympic Games. Tell North Korea that unless they stop making
nuclear weapons their athletes will not be allowed to compete. This will embarrass the North Korean
Government to it's people and force them to give up the weapons. This will also punish the athletes who may
have nothing to do with the nuclear weapons if they can not compete and North Korea refuses to give up the
weapons.
OPTION #2
Send top level diplomats to try to negotiate with the new North Korean dictator Kim IL Sung. This may or may
not work depending on the negotiations.
OPTION #3
Launch a military strike against North Korea. The United States Military can attack North Korea and try to change
their dictatorship into a democracy. This may work if the people of North Korea agree, however, it may not work
if the people do not want the U.S. troops in their country.
OPTION #4
Continue the sanctions against North Korea. Currently the United States refuses to provide economic aid to the
people of North Korea. Most people in North Korea are starving, some eat grass to survive, most only eat one
meal per day. If the United States continues to use economic sanctions people in North Korea will continue to
starve. If the people keep starving, the government of North Korea may agree to get rid of their Nuclear Weapons
in order to get food for the people.
