While in Israel today, Illinois 10th District Republican Congressional candidate Robert Dold proclaimed his support for the response by Republic of Korea President Lee Myung-Bak to the tragic sinking of a South Korean vessel by a North Korean submarine, taking the lives of 46 sailors.
“This disaster is an unwarranted provocation by a perverse North Korean regime. Hostility of this kind must not be permitted without consequences” said Dold. “Our Nation must support our longstanding ally and partner in the Republic of Korea, and stand against aggressive acts of violence that threaten our security and the security of our allies.”
Dold’s statement comes while he is touring Israel, another United States ally burdened with regional antagonism, to gain a better perspective for tackling the threats to our national security and the sovereignty of our allies.
