I probably should have made a stronger disclaimer than "(shamelessly paraphrasing)". She spoke in very tough diplomatese, but it was still diplomatese.

She referred to removing them from or not accepting them into organizations like G-7, I think she said WTO, and others that would be helpful for them in terms of cooperation in expanding their economy and assimilating them into the 21st century (from me: poverty and stagnation).

She also referred to the unity of neighboring nations against them and other nations joining defense organizations against them and the disgust and rejection of other nations at their behavior (isolation).

Again, I'm still paraphrasing, but I think it comes pretty close to what she said. She was still a diplomat, but an obviously angry and very determined diplomat. I'm not a diplomat so I don't want anybody to think the exact words I used were hers.

I agree with you on their demographics being unhealthy. I didn't know that blunt-force trauma was the chief cause of death, but given what I've seen lately, I find it easy to believe. If you post that link, please ping me. Thanks.

Sorry to butt in.

I heard similar sentiments from Rice and I agree with you. I don’t think we know the extent of the possible and I am certain Rice and Bush have a plan in place to accomplish what needs to be done.
