Naturally war is inevitable sin of the human race, but it should be averted at every chance we get. I actually see the possibility of an invasion of North Korea under this administration both unliikely and political suicide for the republican party. Fighting a war like this would be like what johnson did to the democractic presidency, he destroyed it and eventually congress as well when it was finally taken over in '94. Lets face it we are already fighting two wars in Iraq and afghanistan, and the invasion of Iran is inevitable. Why we would invade a nation that has yet to test a nuke and let North Korea off the hook baffles me (even though we should not invade because it would be suicide). Let's face it, we invaded a country under the assumption that it WMDS, when it did not we said a lot of bull shit about dictators, democracy and terrorism but not much else. And yet we will not invade a dictatorship with a known human rights violation past and HAS AND TESTED nukes. The logic of this administration does not exist.
-------------------- A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And--how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?

The logic of this administration does not exist. how can you not assume someone has WMDs when they break sanctions allowing WMD inspectors in for five years? and the logic of invading iraq or iran vs NK is easy, you pick fights you know you can win. i personally think we'd have no problem taking NK, but if the chinese sided with them that'd change things considerably. |
