Bush sure taught North Korea an important lesson

[yavoon]

umm u most certainly implied that the spending on the nuclear program would ensure that they remain "poor and uneduated."

as "they would have deadly weapons as well as remain poor and uneducated."

I understand ur point about which is basically using the logic:
Bush:if u try to build WOMD we will attack u.
themmg we're being threataned quickly lets build WOMD.

Nah, I don't feel any more special than I did this morning.

might as well run w/ it sava. cuz i guess its all u got.

Aw thanks for caring! Don't worry though, I have many other forms of entertainment. Posting on 'Poly is just slightly more fun than playing Counter-Strike right now. I'm just wasting time on a Friday afternoon waiting for my ride back home.

In all seriousness, you are hard to understand.

"The Iraqi war teaches a lesson that in order to prevent a war and defend the security of a country... it is necessary to have a powerful physical deterrent force," the Foreign Ministry spokesman was quoted as saying.

The North Koreans learned this lesson a long time ago; they made similar statements after the first Gulf War.

No one can match America in conventional military power, so tyrants are going to attempt to acquire the only thing that can deter America, which is nuclear weapons. The problem of proliferation has been growing for years, but people still aren't serious about stopping it. They'd rather blame the US for the problem than get on board to fix it. If this behavior continues (and I don't see why it wouldn't), we will all be in deep **** in the future.

We agree about the problem, just not the solution. War isn't a solution.

War isn't a solution.

Yes it is. War is one of many possible solutions to an international relations problem.

War was most certainly the solution to Nazism and Japanese expanism. Could it be war might be able to solve a few more of the world's evils?

I'll save you the embarassment by not pointing out the differences between the Axis Powers and Iraq.

lets start a war on liberalism!

North Korea knows how powerful the US is. The whole "don't mess with the US" thing is stupid. Kim Jong Il is probably off-his-rocker. Crazy people cannot be deterred by a show of force. And plus, the memory of the stalemate war in Korea is much stronger than anything the US does in some desert, halfway across the world. I'll celebrate the day Jong Il dies. But since he's alive and in control of nuclear weapons, I'd just assume not provoke him.

Kim Jong Il is not crazy he is calculating...don't confuse the two. He has postured himself to scare people like you who think he is going to blow the world up. Bush and his administration are handling him very well and yes...he is scared s***less. How else do you explain the sudden shift in his policy post-Iraq? The stalemate was due to China's involvement in the Korean war...before then we had pushed the North Korean army to the border of China. Then 3 million Chinamen raided the U.S. forces who were celebrating thanksgiving. I seriously doubt that China would ever help the N. Koreans again. Also now the technology gap is much greater between our two nations...much greater. Besides we still don't have evidence that they do posses Nuclear weapons...only his threats.

Sava: You have contended that "War isn't a solution" and I have shown a situation where war most certainly was the solution. So there for your original contention must be false.

The real anwser is war is sometimes the solution.

Lets face it - Cliton was a bag of sh*te!

He was more interested in is own personal survival by not rocking the international boat, rather than actually dealing with threats to world peace...

That was 8 years of wasted american diplomacy IMO - that guy only cared about himself - not the nation, or the world...

I completely agree with Mobius?

I guess so...

sava: asking yavoon to actually type like an educated person with few internet abbreviations is like asking kim jong il to disarm and give up his nukes peacefully.

[yavoon]

I dont get it, are u not capable of readin my abbreviations? or do u just not like me and need something to whine about, cuz frankly its getn kinda stupid.

[LoneWolf]

Let us ignore NK. We no longer have a national interest there.
BTW, what is the position of France on NK nukes? And where is the UN? What of "multilateralism"?
