You wrote:""NONE of the peoples of the world would be free"? That's a bit chauvinistic and suggests you have a crystal ball. Since I don't think you do, let's leave it at the "I agree" part." You speak out of ignorance. You feel that America had nothing to do with defeating Hitler and Japan? I never said that America had nothing to do with defeating Hitler and Japan. However, you statement suggests no one but America had anything to do with their defeat. More important than that, America helped to rebuild Europe and Japan, which resulted in a much more stable world. Unfortunately, we allowed the current Muslim menace to get more powerful and dangerous. We allowed? We allowed?!! Who do you think you are, God? The Muslim menace? The Muslim menace?!! Do you perceive the Muslims as a disease or vermin that must be eradicated? America had nothing to do with stopping Russia from spreading it's dominance over the entire world? America even stopped Cuba from spreading terrorism around the world. In fact, if it wasn't for the Cuban embargo, Castro would still be exporting thugs to undermine democracies around the world. I see.......you're from the Ronald Reagan school of international diplomacy. It was Reagan's talk of Star Wars that caused the former USSR to come crashing down. The USSR's collapse had nothing to do with their corrupted economics nor their inability to maintain their empire. Of course not..........if Ronnie was not responsible for that fall, then you all would have nothing to laud him for after 8 years in office. BTW was Reagan's support of Saddam in the 80s another blow for democracy? Could you explain that one to me, please. What do you base all your knowledge on, the North Korean Tribune? You wrote:"Mr. Bush took on N. Korea AND Iran when he was not in the position to do so nor was he able to back up his verbal attacks with something more. Consequently, NK and to a lesser extent, Iran, are taking advantage and playing with us." You claim to read........do you not read the news? If you are not going to open a book on history, or read a newspaper to find out what is going on, at least watch one of the news channels. What makes you think I don't? If what you are saying is true, that America and President Bush can't back up verbal attacks, why is North Korea begging us not to hurt them? North Korea's first demand is that America promise not to attack them. America's great victories in Afghanistan and Iraq is making the world's brutal tyrants take notice and cower. Yeah, they look terrified. I have never seen the Iranians more scared. I should ignore their threats and complaints against the US, huh? Our victories in Iraq and Afghanistan will pay off great, invaluable peace dividends for our children and our grandchilden. Shortsighted, uninformed people like you will continue to live in a mental fog. I live by the truth, not propaganda! The latter is all we get from the Bush administration.......that and the spinning of the truth.
