But we must agree on one thing: Appeasement and inaction are not options.

A-freakin'-men! Do you hear this Colin?

In an otherwise brilliant and agreeable article, I find this nit to pick:

"the world's most totalitarian corner."

Arabia is quite totalitarian, but I think North Korea takes that particular cake.

Saddam wants to have nuclear weapons. GWB has decided that he is not welcome in the nuclear club. I can't say that I disagree. The iraqi's, iranians, saudi's, egyptians, etc... I don't trust any of them. Look at what they use an airliner for... What do you think they will do with a nuclear weapon? Why don't western countries use nuclear weapons against each other? Among other reasons, because we have so much to lose. These peoples don't have anything to lose. Their lives are crappy. That is why we must be ruthless in our dealings with them... Power is the only thing they respect/fear.
