I kinda like the cowboy. Korea is a diplomatic situation.... no way can you invade the place. They could do dramactic damage to South Korea or Japan.. One thing at a time. He only looks foolish with Democrats who do not offer up alternatives.

Bush's explanation about NK vs Iraq doesn't make any sense. He says NK can be pressured by neighbors but Iraq cannot. He says NK has not defied the international community but Iraq has. He says NK has not threatened the US but Iraq has. Can even conservatives pick out any truth in these statements? The truth is, Bush's Axis Of evil speech awakened a sleeping tiger in NK and now he realizes the US has no realistic military options, so he has to back off. Iraq he knows is an "easy" military target with lotsa oil for his cronies and revenge for his father. Bush also has himself in a box by deploying SDI in Alaska. That will freak out the Chinese and they are the only ones who can whip NK into shape for us. Why should China help us now? If they think Bush may become an aggressor vs China they'd WANT NK to be a strong military ally. Like Sauron using the Orcs. NK has such a huge army they could sweep across SE Asia. It's all a big mess now. And then there's Iran. Bush has irritated them as well just as the moderates there were gaining a foothold. Now they are entrenched again and building a nuke plant. The truth is the US cannot battle all these forces at once without creating Armageddon. And meanwhile the US becomes less and less popular and trusted throughout the world, as opposed to Clinton's era when most of the world loved us and the global economy was booming.

The American left is in disarray over the rapid move back to balance and integrity by the aggregate media. Perhaps it's just something for them to talk to their base about in a slow holiday season, but if they are serious, it's a fatal distraction that will speed their decline... story.news.yahoo.com The media will not be going back to the archaic America-hating of the major papers and networks of the last 30 years. For the long run, the political conflict is moving away from the obsolete left wing Marxist/Leninist negative reaction to the growth and progress of the entire world. We are gradually approaching the day when the surviving left will be forced to fight for public opinion scraps with the often novel and innovative ideas of the libertarians, while the mainstream conservatives become the generally-accepted establishment. Watch the DEMOCRAT party for this evolution in the debate, as they KNOW they must throw off the yoke of the archaic Marxist/Leninist left to survive...

The greatest liberal shock of 2003 will be the collapse of the candidacy of John Kerry, who will be terminating his run-while whining about the "big money special interests"-before the NEXT New Year. The biggest shock for the "uninformed middle" will be to see John McCain relegated from a former presidential "hopeful" to a man desperately trying to claw his way back into contention in his own state primary in Arizona. Look for the "Pin Head From Phoenix" to leave gracefully, perhaps with an ambassador appointment from Bush to some resort country where he won't have to try to think anymore-something he has failed so miserably at in the past...
