When you do that, you best be prepared for the accusees to act out. When you allow yourself to be steamrolled by other nations, THEN you best be prepared for them to "act out". This is what happened while we had a weak liberal running the United States. North Korea steamrolled us; lied, cheated, and developed nuclear weapons whilst we paid them not to. Iraq lied, cheated, and has continued its deception concerning WMD against international law. These people respond to one thing: Force or the threat of it. It is fools who trust these evil dictators who get us into trouble. This isn't complicated.

Ted, <That's what has developed and Mr. Bush is not respond to N. Korea's challenges right now. It is putting this country in the embarrassing position of basically having to ignore N. Korea's antics.> Have patience. Iraq is definitely diverting attention away from North Korea. But America's strong stance against Iraq also sends a powerful message to North Korea. It tells the evil regime that there are serious consequences for screwing with the free world. It's all part of the carrot-n-stick approach that I think will work wonders. Tenchusatsu

Ted Re. All that I am saying is that the current tête-à-tête between the US and N. Korea was brought on by Mr. Bush's Axis of Evil comments. It was the equivalent of throwing down the gauntlet or firing a shot over heads. When you do that, you best be prepared for the accusees to act out. Are you sure? I thought that the current fuss all started over N. Korea continuing to work on their nuclear weapons program even after N. Korea made a deal not to. Please provide a link to connect the two. That's what has developed and Mr. Bush is not respond to N. Korea's challenges right now. It is putting this country in the embarrassing position of basically having to ignore N. Korea's antics. Gee, I thought stopping the Clinton aid program, getting Russia and China to come out against N. Korea's position, and intercepting missile developments was pretty good for 2 wks. Did Dave turn you into a hawk and you wanted us to invade already. And one other thing.......you may be Korean American and that may mean you are more informed when it comes to N. Korea and its culture and the nature of its leader but that does not automatically make you an authority on all things related to N. Korea. Compared to you, he is an authority.
