I though we should only attack countries regarding which we have no proof they have WMDs :)

>The problem with Iran is, not only were they able to get a hold of Iraq's WMDs produced during Clinton's throne years,

HHAHAHAHAHA.
You never read the news right? Iran and Iraq were bitter enemies and fought a bloody war. Noone there shared weapons.

And wait you forgot North Korea, The have WMDs, you should join te army and help go fight them. Or are you too busy slinging insults over the web?

"Iran and Iraq were bitter enemies and fought a bloody war."
Yeah there were a couple of tribal skirmishes...until the evil satan empire of American kept demanding Iraq show the UN their, then they got to be good buddies. (See Example, real recorder conversation <wink>)

Pst! Abdul, mind keeping these things in a truck for me? Syria and Jordan can't handle them all.

Sure Saddam, but remember once the evil satan is demolarized by their own dumbass liberals, all bets are off!

That sounds fair, Abdul. You're on!


"Or are you too busy slinging insults over the web?"

WAAHHH!!! Some conservatives are being mean to "good" will. Deal with it dumbass!! You just continually show your dumbass, and I don't mind verbally kicking it for you. I learned to do that really well in my 7+ years of military service, you snotty little hippy, punk.

Actually, Patricia, Good Will is right. That's not to say that some *other* Middle Eastern country might not have gotten WMDs from Iraq (if Iraq had them, which is neither proven *nor disproven*), but it wouldn't have been Iran.

Stopping Iran before they get a working copy of the bomb though... that sounds prudent to me. We can't go after North Korea because of China, by the way. They're the reason we only "half-won" the Korean war, instead of unifying Korea under the South. They are the only power on the globe who *could* pose a threat to us in conventional war, and they get touchy about anyone going into Korea without their permission.

>I though we should only attack countries regarding >which we have no proof they have WMDs :)

We can't get WWIII started fast enough for G.W. I guess! Mabye he thinks it'll speed up the transformation of our economic system from a free enterprise system to a //THE GOVERNMENT OWNS EVERYTHING type!!

Yes, technically we are in Korea... I should have been more specific. The Chinese would tend to get pissed if we took military action against North Korea without consulting them. Also, of course they could also pose a threat in unconventional war. I just wanted to point out that unlike other countries, China wouldn't *need* nukes or terrorists to give us an even fight, simply because of the sheer *numbers* of their military.

As for Taiwan... believe me, I'd love to send in peacekeeping troops to ensure Taiwan's safety while they take all the steps necessary to secure independence and democracy... but again, there's the "we can't fight with China" thing.

I worked for a company that was taken over by a Taiwan company and after working for them for a while I realized that we are really wasting our time and resources trying to defend Taiwan. The Taiwan people are Chinese in family and culture and eventually they will be merged in to one official country (that being China).
I do agree with you, Anthony, China must be a major consideration in relation to action and diplomacy with North Korea but I really hope we put our focus (and weaponry) on Iran very soon and not get distracted with N. Korea.

I agree with your second point, but I think your first is made on false premises. I know that Taiwan is almost identical in *culture* to China, but we were almost identical, culturally, to Britain. The issue is independence and democracy. If Taiwan is absorbed into China, they can't have that.

Maybe its just me. But personally I think we should keep the port management in our hands. I know there is capitalism and all. But ports are too vital for security bothe economic and physical.
Just my two bits.
