Alighieri Re..SA and Pakistan do exactly the same thing or worse...SA
Absolutely, never have I said that they haven't. However, we have got to start somewhere, and Saddam has this nice little bulls eye painted on his face, why not use it. After all, you, yourself have said it is the safest place to start. This article points out why Iraq should be first, and if the conditions in Iraq existed in SA instead of Iraq, hey what the heck, then I say SA.
Most believe exactly the opposite...that is that a forceful action in Iraq is proof of the West's hostile intent towards Islam, and that such will polarize this "islamist movement" into a more pervasive, resentful and impossible to control force bent on revenge for generations to come.
Isn't it funny that the people who believe it the most are the terrorist themselves. They give that as the primary reason for us not retaliating against them. However, think about it, if they were so sure of a retaliation theory, why aren't they worried? Look at Afghanistan, how often have we been attacked by crazed Afghani since, how about them fearsome Japanesse, Germans maybe. Can you name me even one country who has retaliated successfully enough to cause us serious harm,since we defeated them. Not a one.
I posted an article on Turkey earlier. Read
I did, but it hardly seemed worthy of a response. Yes there were some small demonstrations etc, however nothing serious, and the part about destabilizing the border would be true temporarily, and yes they are muslim, so maybe they would consider it an attack, but hey, Turkey will in the end be okay with it, so I can live with it. I can't live with OBL condition of turning Islamic, so what choice do I have.
Why are you blaming Gw for Nk. problems. From your article.
Because for the first time in decades we have a crisis in NK that could have completely managed and avoided.
Say you are really a young shipper snapper if you can't remember back less tha a decade, when your buddy Bill was threatening war. NK likes to posture every ten yrs or less, whether we need it or not. What is funny is you getting your undies all in a bunch this time.
NK is crazy like a fox.
LOL Think so. Read this. http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Korea/EA03Dg02.html

If you have read the second post, you would have noticed,it was was a relief worker who says everybody in NK is starving except KIm. Now does that sound like someone who is crazy like a fox, or someone who is starving his people like an idiot.
But to dismiss the country's security fears is to miss the cause of its actions.
And this is the crux of the current crisis, as I said above
Hmmm, if I was Kim IL, I would be more worried about what France's own countrymen did to Marie and King Louie, than what happened to Napoleon. Successful generals have a long life, despots who can't feed their people eventually find eating cake is a little difficult without ones head. |
