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 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.

North Korea: Men required to get Kim Jong-un
haircutshttp://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/nation/2014/03/485_154092.html
Men in North Korea are now required to get the same haircut as their leader Kim Jong-un, it is reported.
The state-sanctioned guidelines were introduced in the capital Pyongyang about two weeks ago, media reports
say. It is now being rolled out across the country - although some people have reservations about getting the
look.
"Our leader's haircut is very particular, if you will," one source tells Radio Free Asia. "It doesn't always go with
everyone since everyone has different face and head shapes." Meanwhile, a North Korean now living in China
says the look is actually unpopular at home because people think it resembles Chinese smugglers. "Until the
mid-2000s, we called it the 'Chinese smuggler haircut'," the Korea Times reports.
It seems that haircuts have been state-approved in North Korea for some time - until now people were only
allowed to choose from 18 styles for women and 10 for men. Earlier, North Korea's state TV launched a
campaign against long hair, called "Let us trim our hair in accordance with the Socialist lifestyle". The
current leaders father Kim Jong-il, who ruled North Korea for 17 years, sported a bouffant hairstyle, reportedly
in order to look taller.
