You're correct. I did the same thing you did in post #116 where you assumed I am an environmental wacko freak. I'm for drilling for our own oil in our country. If we do that, those banana countries will become supplicants begging us to buy their oil at $5.00 a barrel. Of course, the oil special interests with political clout would not allow that to happen with the acquienscnce of our dishonest "reprehensentatives ( a great many of them).

I'm against this so-called "war" because I see it as selective and does not really address terrorism as a whole.
Have you noticed that North Korea admits to these weapons, yet, no warnings are given to them? Can you guess why?

If memory serves, I believe they were also included in the Pres's "axis of evil".

Quite frankly, I am tired of Bush's daily warnings as it shows arrogance and I don't care for arrogant people. You know as well as I do all this shows is he is "champing at the bit" to attack.
He sounds as if he's also warning the inspectors that they better find something! Maybe it's just me who gets that impression.

If there are weapons of mass destruction, then we should do a pre-emptive strike, but, I want more proof than the word of one person even if he is the President. I don't trust any politician regardless of his/her label.

In any event, if I offended you, my apologies.

Because China is even more interested in disarming North Korea than we are? After all, they are right across the border, and have a history of very unfriendly relations with the Korea peninsula. We're concerned. China has cause for real fear. All of China is in range of current N. Korean missiles, only Hawai'i and some of the Aleutian islands are threated US soil.

China must apply all the pressure they need to remove the threat from their own back yard.

We can focus our attention elsewhere where WE face more subtle and pernicious threats.

I wasn't offended and I really didn't think you were a green. I do think we have grounds to handle SH. I also think NK will be on our short list sooner than later. It appears that China isn't interested in protecting NK either. The NK stuff is just a guess on my part.
