Abject failure of the American government. You said it in a nutshell. And LF, America has no balls? We used to. If you say America has no balls, it's our government you're talking about, including Mr. Bush. But the government is supposed to be a reflection of the people. Is it?

Maybe liberalism has de-balled America. Politics is rotten. I feel like becoming an ostrich because everywhere I turn, the world at large is getting uglier and uglier.

And I'm one of the lucky ones. An American, a conservative, I have a good job, etc., and I still get sick of living with and hearing of all the evil things pervading our world. I guess I need to talk to God more. Do either of you have his cell number?

Yes, let me rephrase that: The American Govt has no balls.

I didn't make that comment.

Personally, at this point agree that military action is not necessary if China is on-board with the economic sanctions. On the other hand, I think that we should deploy about 100-200 nuclear-tipped short/medium range missiles to Japan and S. Korea to let the glorious leader of N. Korea (and his generals) know that he's only 5-15 minutes away from certain death.
