Mr Blue... this stuff all started shortly after Old George's "evil" dialog. He defined nations which nether deal with, or have anything to do with the US as an "Axis of Evil" and then proceeded to threaten them.
No other country on this planet messed with these three countries - only Old George. The flip side is - there is no denial it may be easy to target these countries, however, there are plenty ways to play games and end up with a satisfactory outcome without the monthly diatribes about the "evil ones" and name-calling like damned school kids.
It's not just North Korea who have stood up - Iran is doing the same and Afghanistan is pretty much in a worse and more agressive stage than it ever was towards the US.
Iraq.. well.. only my
but smell not only the US, but several other nations will pay a price for that fuckup.
Bottom line... no country has the right to assume any moral stance over another and mess in that other countries business. The concept of pre-emptive strikes will come back to haunt the US - possibly for a long time ahead. These are the actions of an utter lunatic lacking in any diplomatic skills.
No country, irrespective of it's "hardware" can trollop over the globe instigating wars, threatening, boycotting and issuing sanctions without losing friends - often good one's - and without paying a price for the seed it sows.
Only me, but I no longer believe anything the US Admin utters - they are persistant liars and decievers, not only to the international community, but their own citizens. Tis also my opinion that the political persuasion they claim to represent is a total falsehood and a hijacking of a political party along with any "righteous cause" they can lay their hands on (religion etc). In effect, an Adminstration of Abuse.
I'd look forward to the day the US gets back *any* form of honorable government - irrespective of politics - and managed by people with a degree of integrity and basic honesty who get back the credibility lost by the current Administration of Abuse.
BTW Mr Blue - Happy 4th to you!
