Like "speak softly but carry a big stick. So far we have been carrying a stick without talking. I disagree.. We spent 13 years "talking" to Saddam before we pulled out the "big stick" and knocked him off of his throne. baghdadandbeyond.blogspot.com We've spent over 6 years dealing with Iran's intransigence regarding its nuclear program. We've been talking with North Korea since 1994 regarding its nuclear ambitions and have received nothing but lies and threats in exchange. Bottom line.. Don't carry the stick unless you plan on using it. And when you do use it, don't worry about the "hand-wringers" and those who would seek to defend the indefensible. Hawk
