Carl~~I still stand by my thoughts to you on Sept 10, 2001, and finally realized that contrary to your thoughts, the "whole world does NOT love us" and that "our worst enemies are long dead" as you thought then~~

And BTW, Yes, I still do think North Korea is a country that we will have to deal with...I thought so then, and continue to think so, as long as the present dictator or any of his present followers are in control of the country.

These two statements are even more true today, and my point was then and is now that we must continue to be prepared for any who would attack our Country .............

Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle! Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did, and it never will. Find out just what people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue until they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress."
--Frederick Douglass, August 4, 1857

December 8, 1941 - Address to Congress
"Yesterday, December 7, 1941 - a date which will live in infamy - the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan."
---Franklin D. Roosevelt
