<< Did you notice McCain's position on North Korea ... he expected it would lead to war with North Korea. >>

To me, N.K. is the most dangerous place in the world right now. The son who took over is worse than his old man. These criminally insane thugs stand by while their people starve and spend huge amounts on "offensive" weapons. I think that they are crazy enough to use them.

I hope that our CIA, FBI, etc. are able to keep a fairly good assessment of what North Korea is capable of doing. If it looks like they are getting close to being able to deliver a nuclear missile to the US, I'd be in favor of a pre-emtive strike.

North Korea has also been saying that war is coming. They are accusing the US and South Korea of planning to invade the North.

I just hope we're ready. And, I hope that China is not corrupt/stupid/villainous enough to side with North Korea.

We had, also, better be soothing over the bad relations with China. I could see the Chinese using an altercation in Korea as a good time to attack Taiwan. The deal: China stays out of Korea, the US looks the other way with Taiwan.
