"its not very good for foreign relations, nor is it good diplomacy to call people names." True, just look how it worked for liberals in recent elections :-o FWIW, I noted that you don't disagree with the truth/accuracy of my rebuttal :-( What Bush did was send N. Korea & the world a warning shortly after the tragic events of 9/11. We have been at war since that horrific date. His intention is to protect US citizens & gave N. Korea among others fair warning that the US will take action if the status quo is maintained. If they wish to cling to their ways, that is their problem if our words of truth insulted them. Their actions have only helped make terrorist organizations stronger & more dangerous. All Bush did was send a verbal warning in harsh, albeit accurate terms. If they wish to play word games when we have had a terrorist war brought to us & they react by obfuscating the serious issues of supplying terrorist organizations for decades & blatantly lying about their own nuke program, then there will likely be serious consequences. Bottom line, those words hurt no one. N. Korea's actions have made it easier terrorist organizations globally to slaughter countless thousands of innocent civilians. I realize that I'm not going to convince folks who hate Bush & his admin ET AL. Sadly, rewriting history to justify your POV is all too common. Truth, logic & reason also seem lost on far too many people who harbor hate & a deep personal bias. To me that is as scary as dealing with terrorism. It only serves those who wish to harm us. JMHO
