Default What to do about North Korea...?

I'm certain that we've got hundreds of agents all over the Middle East,
sewing the seeds of discontent between the two sects. Anyone who
studies history knows that the best way to fight an enemy is to get
them to rot from within...and that is precisely what is happening in
Iraq.


So all of Bush's talk about creating a stable democracy in Iraq is just a
big lie, then?

Well, that explains the 50 murdered corpses showing up every day at the
Baghdad morgue--it's America's doing! We *actually* went there to create a
genocidal civil war!

I guess it makes as much sense as any of the other reasons we've been given.


No, as with most of these things, I imagine our intelligence agencies
are trying to play both ends against the middle.

In other words, if a stable democracy develops in Iraq, we win. And if
civil war between the two major sects of Islam rages on
indefinitely...we still win.

The only way we lose is if both sects unite in an Islamic theocracy. I
don't think that is going to happen.

Does this include the right of a nation to be soverign over its people?
Yes, it does as long as they aren't threatening other countries.

Does this include us?

Sure. What is your point?


My point is that we are threatening other countries. Do those other
countries (or maybe even =other= other countries) then have a right to
deprive us of our soverignity?

The news is reporting that they've launched FOUR missiles now --
possibly one that can reach the U.S. mainland...

I wonder what our Air Force guys in South Korea are doing right now...

:-(


They are flying as usual.

I would not be terribly surprised if we had done something to make sure
the launch failed. It would not be that hard for an Aegis cruiser to
shoot the thing down on launch. (Note to megalomaniacs with dreams of
world domination: do not put your launching pads on the coast.)

North Korea simply hopes to shake down the US for more aid and
concessions. Their sabre rattling has always succeeded in doing this
before. They have no reason to believe it will not work this time.

China needs to start playing ball with us on a few things, or maybe we
will start taking another look at giving Taiwan a seat on the Security
Council.

The Philippines newspapers are full of stories about the launches and
editorials condemning them. The government here does not think that
North Korea needs missiles of any kind.

So if a civil war develops, causes the death of hundreds of thousends
innocent people who have done nothing wrong (particularly not to you),
probably millions loose their home and everything they have (which in
most cases wasn't much to start with), a whole generation of children
has no chance to live a normal childhood but has to grow up in war, hate
and fear etc. etc., *you win*? What a disgusting point of view!

politics down pat, no doubt.

Yep. And after posting something like that, I'm sure it's: off to
church!

Happy 4th indeed...

The cease fire just stopped the active fighting in Korea in
1953. A state of war still is the controlling legal
condition between South Korea, The United States and North
Korea.

North Korea has repeatedly sent troops and terror squads
across the DMZ. They have dug tunnels. Now they are
developing and firing missiles. These are all acts of war
under the terms of the cease fire accord.

We should advise N. Korea that the USA will resume active
war status and force compliance with the nearly 60 year old
cease fire. This will include air strikes on all of their
military bases, military production and warehouse facilities
and under ground bases.
