Rationale sane people are not
in charge of the nk government.

Some think the same about our leaders.

I've not met any sane people who claim this to be true.

but I, for one, wouldn't bother trying to **** off the USA. I
wouldn't **** away government funds on a worthless military weapon
systems when millions of my citizens are starving.

I see; so you'd cozy up to the folks who think you're part of an "Axis of
Evil", and prefer that the popuce run around anxious that the US is going
to attack you next while they starve anyway. Hmm. Is that the rational and
sane approach?

You don't seem to get it. The world (yes, it's not just your horrid
United States of America)warned North Korea not to launch any more
missiles toward Japan under the guise of "testing" them.

In response, they launched not one, but SEVEN missiles, provoking what
could have been an all-out retaliatory strike.

I suppose you believe these missile launches were the act of a sane
government? Good grief...

Interestingly, it is the Japanese who are now demanding sanctions
against NK, and (as usual) the Russians and Chinese who are proving
that the "United Nations" is as ineffective as as always.

Here's the bottom line, folks: North Korea represents a clear and
present danger to the U.S., and its allies -- and as of this evening
they are now threatening to fire even MORE missiles into the Sea of
Japan. President Bush, by labeling NK part of the "Axis of Evil", has
correctly identified North Korea as one of the main enemies of freedom
in the world -- as their actions clearly illustrate.

Most thinking people understand the logic of this position, and it
alarms me that there are apologists in this group for (I can't believe
I'm writing this!) the actions of Kim Jong Il -- a man who aspires to
join the despicable ranks of Stalin, Mao, and his own father. What
are you guys *thinking*?

The fact that we currently have an administration in power that
actually says what it means, and means what it says, is a fortunate
stroke of luck in world history. Can you imagine what Clinton (or
Kerry? Or Gore?) would be doing right now? God almighty, we'd be
showering Kim with gifts, offering him a state visit, and firing cruise
missiles into the Libyan desert to divert the media's attention...

Sadly, incredibly, once again, if diplomacy fails it looks like we may
have to go it alone against North Korea -- and once again the majority
of Americans (and, I believe, the world) will support such an action.
But what a shame...
