You see, I'm of the belief that President George W. Bush, the first president I voted for during the 2000 election cycle, though I really was pulling for Senator John McCain at that time, became president since he was a likeable figure thought to be not different than the average American (Though, former President Gore's likeability issue and disgraced activist Ralph Nader probably also had something to do with it), but yet, then Saudi Ambassador to the U.S. and a tutor of George W. Bush's answers precisely why the U.S. should care and in a very concise manner too.
If the U.S. probably had a very public debate about fighting another Korean War, then I doubt U.S. public opinion would support it at all (meaning if another war did break out then I'd think another Republican would get elected to office, probably not too unlike that of, let's say, another President Eisenhower). Why else would both Republican and Democratic administrations --except for the first Clinton administration, oddly enough -- be so willing to accomodate North Korea? (George W. Bush's first administration doesn't count. During his first administration, there really was no U.S. policy towards North Korea -- I'd suggest reading "The Long Road To Pyongyang" (Foreign Affairs Nov/Dec 2007).

I’d really like for us to see eye to eye for some reason.
We do see relatively eye to eye on many things, but on the one thing, we won’t; that being the “natual order of things”. I would welcome the chance to really explain why, at my core, I find Communism to be so repugnant to innate human values, and so opposed to what I see as the natural order of things, that I simply cannot ever accept that its ascendancy ought to be welcomed - or even begrudgingly accepted - as part of the natural order of things. But that would lead this thread far off the point, and will have to wait.
Here’s a response just for Mr. John Valentine. :)
