    I'm not convinced that oil is the problem. I'm pretty sure we could fly over the Middle East and drop bags of money and they'd still want to kill us for blocking the view. - Scott Adams

      The whole damn thing is just f@#$%ing stupid. I can't belive the N.Korean's still hold this grudge with Japan. Were talking about a whole new generation of Japanese people who are some wonderfull people and have nothing to do with Japan's past transgressions. This stuff is just getting out of control.

        Is it just me, or does anyone else think we might be getting close to a WWIII? :(( :(( :(( (Don't ask why I think so, I don't have it very clear myself, I Just think so.)

I dont lurch around complaining about the Cherokees being forced into Oklahoma only to have it taken away later. I still get pissed off over stuff like this. And for some reason (stupid PHBs) I am realy pissed off today ;). "Veni, Vidi, Booyah!" - Ceasar

But I guess it is easier for Africans to remember white men pillaging Africa than to remember it was their own brothers and friends.

I have to jump in here and disagree. The issues (NK and Iraq) that we have today has existed for quite some time, it is just more visible now. Bush's speech did not create a crisis, it only shed light on an existing one. Would you prefer to not know there was a crisis and just wait for a major accident/terrorist strike/nuclear arms sale (what do you think NK is going to do with this techology?) Blaming these issues on Bush is short-sighted and not a very well thought our argument. NK did not magically develop nuke technology in the past 14 months. Anyone who believes Iraq is not hiding munitions, etc is closing their eyes and singing "Mary had a little lamb...".
