Anyway, I am dreaming... Bush foreign policy is WAR.

i'd agree that bush doesn't have the best foreign policy, and i really don't like the idea of going to war again, especially there.
but, what other choices are there? nk doesn't want a thing to do with our peace talks. they are pretty outward about their hate against the US and the desire to crush the US. they're obtaining nuclear technology that they are most likely going to have little remorse in selling these items to groups that would use it against the US. they're even building delivery systems that could reach the US. if they weren't anticipating the need to launch nuclear weapons to the US, why would they be improving their current delivery systems to they can reach here? even using nukes in a defensive environment, most of NK's enemies that would be quickly mobile would not be that far away. to me this indicates the possibility of rising offensive.
they also seem to like to point out that the US and NK are still at war.
with these things in mind, and a country with a certifiable leader, what would be the options here? should we wait until a missile hits seattle? or someone sets off a nuke in LA? i don't think we should parade around the world taking over a bunch of countries. we aren't really doing that. but we do have a right to defend ourselves, just as other countries do. and, if we can make the world a little safer place at the same time, it's a perk.
NK scares me a lot more than iraq ever did.
