Now remember N.K. has said that to board the ship means war. There are several pundits saying this. Then John McCain comes on and says board the ship.

I shudder to think what would have happened if McCain's mentality was prevalent during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
As it was, we put up a blockade which in and of itself could legitimately have been perceived as an act of war.

According to international law a blockade is an act of war, but the Kennedy administration did not feel itself limited, thinking that the USSR would not be provoked to attack by a mere blockade.
