Now I reread the piece you recommend for study and here we go again. It-s not worth the time. It-s hubristic bragging.<br>The US went to Europe to defeat the nazistates and to Japan to defeat that imperialistic military state, both of whom had declared war on the US.<br>Then the US wanted to be sure that there would be no more attacks from these states, so it occupied them and eventually transformed in democracies. A wise decision and a good investment.<br>Now I would like to hear from you or from Mr. Krauthammer what this has got to do with the attack on Iraq.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17206839.post-77691449991335051382004-10-04T21:24:00.000-04:002004-10-04T21:24:00.000-04:00Kerry’s North Korea policy is the same as Clinton’...Kerry’s North Korea policy is the same as Clinton’s and Carters. We all know what a big success that was. That policy results from Kerry, Clinton and Carter having no judgment or common sense.<br><br>Clinton/Carter’s agreement with North Korea to give up their nuclear weapons program or face sanctions never worked because only the US and North Korea were parties to that agreement.<br><br>North Korea’ s economy is in a desperate state. The country is very close to imploding. North Korea blackmailed the nations around them by threatening invasion or destruction of their cities. In response to this blackmail, NK received materials, money and supplies to keep their economy and weapons program running.<br><br>If we take blackmail away from them they will be forced to drop their weapon’s program or cease to exist.<br><br>Bush’s brilliant policy does just that. He wants the 6 nations to stand as one in negotiating with NK. That way no nation will submit to NK’s blackmail. NK will be forced to drop their nuclear weapons.<br><br>Bush has also convinced China to stop giving Korea military and economic aid. NK is wishing for the good old Clinton/Carter days where NK could do anything they want. NK sees in Kerry a man they can manipulate. They know they can not manipulate Bush.Jakehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09208548778259311459noreply@blogger.com
