I really think North Korea is over rated as a threat. That Kim Jong Il, or however you spell it, is a complete loon. Some people in his gov't must know that. Who is he gonna nuke, South Korea? That doesn't make much sense. I'm pretty sure if he tried anything we'd take him out in a New York minute.
As for China, I was 100% convinced years ago that they used convict labor. They are bad, but they are also the largest country in the world. They are not going to attack us, and we are not going to attack them without that provocation. Eventually the Chinese will get their act together. They do great in every country they emigrate too, but they are a people who have NEVER known freedom. I think we have to stand by Taiwan, and I agree, Bush screwed up on that the other day too.
As for Saudi Arabia, I will support any offensive taken against them. But I imagine they are getting a clue right about now. But I for one wouldn't hesitate to take over that entire country.
But you know, you can't have it all. No president is perfect, no government is perfect, no plan is perfect. There are an awful lot of fine people in Iraq who are far better off now than they were a year ago. The world is better off too.
One thing I learned from my interest in pro-life issues, don't let Perfect be the enemy of Good. That's how I feel about this whole Iraq thing.
And I can truthfully state for the record I thought we should have gone into Afghanistan and kicked the Taliban's butt BEFORE 9/11. Even before the Buddahs, but definately by the time of the Buddahs' destruction.
That was summer 2001, when I told my friend "There is a big problem in the Muslim world..." and she yelled at me for "Condemning an entire people..." She denies this now, but it really happened.

The danger with Jong isn't that he'll use nukes, it's that he will sell them to someone else that will. How much do you think Al Quida would pay for a nuke?
