North Korea’s rumors of street protests and a potential succession crisis had viewers speculating over possibilities for a “peaceful” resolution.  The vast majority agreed sanctions “would not help in any way and would only harm the citizens.”  Most encouraged open dialogue among the leaders in an effort to develop a positive approach.

I believe the Israeli position is rather arrogant, but not a surprise. I wonder if CNN will follow up the story with the US authorities about the US credit card accounts. Being a daily viewer of CNN, I will be watching this story with great interest.

Peter Houston Any form of sanction will only hurt innocent civilians. More dialogue and friendship is needed. Sanctions will not slow down a nation that feels threatened by the West. N. Korea will go nuclear no matter what. For the N. Korean government, it is a matter of national security/insecurity.

Benjamin Sisko Sanctions can only lead to weakening a country's infrustracture and then attack it....Sanctions are but a strategy to start war....it has no ethical or moral result behind....see the example of irak...plz US OFFICIALS do not repeat the same mistake , Irak had no weapons of mass destruction.I guess we should change perspective about nuclear issues , let the UN do its job.

Kenya Brown I don't see how sanctions would help. As of now in the game you have the US going forward with a weapons package to Taiwan, which China doesn't like. So, China makes the move by dangling billions of dollars of aid over the DPRK, which the US doesn't want to happen. In the end, if there are anymore sanctions, then it's just going to be another watered-down version. The key to tougher sanctions on the DPRK lies in the relationship between the US and China and right now the relationship is shaky.

Glenn Michael Salve Whatever sanctions the U.N., U.S. and allies imposed on North Korea, it's always the civilians are ones hammered. The most effective way in punishing Kim Jung Il is to ignore him totally. Because he is obviously suffering from attention deficiency syndrome and yet he is constantly rewarded and pampered by the West et al with economic offers just to appease him in many years now. It is an endless cycle of bad.
