Oh I'm with you Homer, I'm all for a preemptive strike against North Korean satellites, as George Wallace said in '72, "Send 'em a message", but using the presence of two NorK satellites (that almost certainly do not contain any nuclear capability) to scare Hell out of the public can only serve to desensitize people to the threat.

Talk about it, publicize the threat potential, sure. I'd rather see us take out those satellites quietly without any fanfare and then see what Pyongyang wants to do about it.

Since we have satellites in similar orbits, “taking them out” would endanger our satellites as well. Not a good idea. The resulting debris will remain in orbit for many months after. Once we develop and perfect that tractor beam we’ll be able to yank them out of orbit with no resulting debris.

If General MacArthur had not had to report to a President Harry (S for nothing) Truman we wouldn’t have lost the war in Korea. In short, we’d be far better off had Harry continued selling hats in Missouri.

Of course we’d have had someone other than FDR occupying the White Hut, and the depression would have ended quicker and we wouldn’t have had to save Europe from Hitler.

If we hadn’t allowed Stalin to take over Eastern Europe and drove his mongoloid troops back to their motherland, we wouldn’t have had a Korea, or a Vietnam or a Communist China. There would be no Castro in Cuber. There would be no Mexicans streaming over our border. Saddam Hussein would still be in Iraq making Jews and Christians happy and would still be terrorizing Iraq.

I believe that a ‘decisive’ victory in Europe would have caused Conservatives of the Right to be elected an re-elected as president and we would have an entirely different ideological make up in the now disgraced Congress. The SCOTUS would be mae up much differently as well.

As it is it appears that we deserve the poor excuse for a president and an American squatting in the White Hut and be in mortal danger of losing not only our nation, but our very lives.
