He will invade N. Korea and get rid of its dictator. And this time, make the case PURELY on humanitarian grounds. Hundred of thousands of people are dying of famine. Even the most liberal activists, after working in N. Korea, have argued for removal of Kim by force.

As one arab journalist said

"...my objection does not prevent me from acknowledging, as I did many times in this column, that the demise of Saddam's regime would not have been possible without an American military intervention."

Kim can't be removed without American intervention either.


As a liberal, I supported the idea of removing Saddam. It was a matter of time. Had the world stood by for another 10 years of his terror, it would've been against the spirit of Humanity. "Evil Prevails When Good Men Do Nothing." However, I was very opposed to the timing and the planning(lack of) of the Iraqi war. We should've spent more effort in Afghanistan to finish what we've started.

I will gladly vote for GW if he has the guts to come out and say, KIM will be removed. N. Korea is much closer to obtaining nukes than Iraq or even Iran. The post-war logistics will be MUCH more easier since S. Korea will take care of it for us.

Comments?

Actually, being in N. Korea would probably be safer than being in L.A. or N.Y. if we invade.

Actually, I would prefer GWB invade China first and overthrow the godless commie bastards. N K will fall without the head. Like Mao said, to kill a snake, you cut off the head.

China can't really be considered a communist nation. However, it does remain authoritarian.

ROFL/// I donno about that dude...

Are you suggesting we trade L.A. or N.Y. for a victory over NK?

....doesnt seem like a fair trade to me....

The real estate value of L.A. is probably 100x that of all of NK.

USA would likely never consider doing such an irrational thing. first too much business to lose. and second the US cant afford to lose the unimaginable # of american lives in an invasion. in fact, the country has stepped away from communism quite significantly already. thats how they are so rich.

NK though? why of course.

No. I'm just saying Kim is unlikely to drop a nuke on invading troops in his own country, but could very well be capable of hitting a major U.S. city in retaliation for an invasion.

I will vote for GWB in 2004 if..... If I've been lobotomized and the remaining bit of my brain thoroughly conditioned to respond favorably to the letter "R"...


"No. I'm just saying Kim is unlikely to drop a nuke on invading troops in his own country, but could very well be capable of hitting a major U.S. city in retaliation for an invasion."


And uhh, pray tell, just how would he deliver said weapon? Ox cart?

I'd be all for your plan if we could pull it off without most of Seoul being wiped out by counter-offensive artillery fire. Now if some of this SDI technology pans out like we're hearing stories about (e.g. systems that can destroy artillery ordnance in flight), i'll be the first one advancing the idea of taking out Kim Jong Mentally-Ill and his cronies.

Do you support enlarging the US army by a minimum of 5 divisions, possibly a draft, possibly unilateral action and not bitch about the cost in lives and coin for such an action?

Maybe you're expecting a weak defense waiting for the American troops going through the buffer zone

NK army could likely be as strong and determined as Iraq's during the conflict in the 80's with Iran. Plus NK doesn't bother with international war rules, they'll shoot, nuke, gas every US soldier. Doesn't really matter to them (I'm not generalizing that the NK's are barbaric or inferior people, they just wouldn't show mercy and we better be prepared for it)

Also, maybe you don't remember the Marshall Plan and its mediocre success against NK in the first conflict.

any war against NK will probably have to be consulted with China 1st. W/O Chinese help, NK doesn't stand a chance

I'll vote for Bush if he switches to the Democratic party and pulls all troops out of every country in the world.

There's a problem with that. There's no oil in NK.

we wont think of invading Nk till we have a high accuracy rate(using our missile defense system) of destroying a nuclear missile fired at SK/Japan. Action will only be taken otherwise if were attacked (USA or a close ally) Or if we can prove they sold important nuclear info/or missiles. And i truly doubt China will step in. Good thing the USA still owns the Skies. :D

Fat chance.

Walmart would never approve of that.

I would never vote for George Bush. Why is it that you seem so adamant about invading every country which doesn't share our ideals?

Hey now, he didn't advocate invading Canada yet.
