Disregarding Iraq for a minute, I'm really having a hard time sorting out why we seem to be treating Iran and North Korea as roughly equal threats. Iran is in the early stages of work that could one day lead to nuclear weapons. North Korea very likely has nuclear weapons already, and not only has long-range ICBM's, but just fired six missiles toward Japan. In addition, while Iran's new leadership is extremist and has connections to terrorism, North Korea's leadership borders on psychotic and has a history of being wildly unpredictable. I'm not sure our foreign policy people have any concept of reality at this point.
So, it appears that the Bush admin's "Axis of Evil" PR campaign has been a rousing success. How else do you explain "liberal" blogs using the "A of E" nonsense to attack Bush. There is no axis of evil. Rather, just a few countries of dark people that the U.S. doesn't control.
If North Korea, Iran and Venezuela (soon to be added to the neocons list of "evil" countries) are not allowed to have viable militaries, why are we?
Remember, America is the country doing all the invading these days.
If you don't see any difference between the US (with all its flaws, warts, problems, etc.) and North Korea, then you're either shockingly ignorant or mind-bogglingly obtuse.
I am denied access to the glorious music of the Great Leader
