NK. A regional issue
-
Torch NY??? How's the missle gonna get that far? These people are so full of it. In 1-2 months, our military will be able to fully handle NK. I assume that's why Bush is hesitant on unilaterally taking them out. If we can get China or Japan to help handle the situation, then thats all the better. BTW, wouldn't a missle defense system be good to have right now????

The US has been talking about reducing forces in the region (not increasing them). Washington has also indicated that it may redeploy some of its 37,000-strong garrison in South Korea, with Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld saying soldiers stationed near the border could be moved further south or withdrawn from the country altogether. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/2830657.stm[^] ------------------------------------------ "What happened in that Rhode Island club is shocking.

Q: Mr. President, thank you. Another hot spot is North Korea. If North Korea restarts their plutonium plant, will that change your thinking about how to handle this crisis, or are you resigned to North Korea becoming a nuclear power? Bush: This is a regional issue. I say regional issue because there's a lot of countries that have got a direct stake in whether or not North Korea has nuclear weapons. -- indeed. and that region now includes New York, Chicago and DC: http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/03/07/1046826533281.html[^] -c

They say they're concerned about a nuclear North Korea, but avoid any negotiations (and avoid any concessions; leaving the US to make concessions). But the statement is stupid. ------------------------------------------ "What happened in that Rhode Island club is shocking.

So, why don't we let the French take the lead on this one since the USA has so terribly screwed up on Iraq? Mike
Because it's the responsibility of the UN. US haven't screwed yet, without the presence of the US Army the inspectors would not be able to get such results.
I'm sorry about our waffling on Iraq. I mean,when you're going up against a crazed dictator,you wanna have your friends by your side. I realize it took more than 2 years before you guys pitched in against Hitler,but that was different. Everyone knew he had weapons

Just for the intellectual exercise, how much time should be given? Mike

Mike Gaskey wrote: And we should leave them on the border for how many years The UN inspectors decide. They are the only ones who know how many time they need. As soon as they say they can't do their job, war will be the last solution, but as long they ask for time, this time should be allowed to them. BTW, I read this in Jane's newsletter: "Iran's nuclear capability probed; Iran has made more progress than previously publicly disclosed in furthering its nuclear weapons capabilities, though its ultimate intentions remain unclear. According to US and International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) officials, Iran is developing a full-scale uranium enrichment facility near Natanz, 160km north of Esfahan. It has completed a pilot-scale centrifuge cascade for such work at that location." After the invasion of Iraq, Iran will be surrounded by a US grip, threatened by a double attack from Iraq and from Afghanistan. Is Iran the next target?

The "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth"-approach breeds hatred. It's IMO the worst approach. :) -- Shine, enlighten me - shine Shine, awaken me - shine Shine for all your suffering - shine

I prefer the message of Jesus :) But it's your choice not to believe, I respect that.
