Washnwear and Oppyh,

Thanks for those unprompted comments

I don't mean nothing personal when I call people idiots even though I'm sure it comes across that way.

Yes. I thought Bush was the worst president we've ever had. I have a long history of posts to proove that. This is something altogether different though. What I liked about Bush was that nobody trusted or liked him. His every move was scrutinized.

O'Bama has put us on the fast track to ruin and all we read about is their new dog, or their trip to Broadway that would have cost me 8 years of my life savings to pay for, or the fact that he made ammends by paying for a trip to Paris, or the fact that J Crew stock was in the stratosphere when Ms. O and the little tykes were wearing outfits fashioned by them.

What danger lurks beneath. It may be easy to think that most Americans are aware of what's all going on by posting here frequently, but I think we're a more informed bunch than the majority.

Ah HA!
And NOW you realize what a commie-Lib, socialist Mao-mother***** he is, and how WRONG you were to support him & his brownshirt cause! You realize NOW that Bush was just a good guy doing what he believed to be right for all freedom-loving, dictator-hating standup Americans!!!

Wow - it's like you tore the very heart from my still-breathing chest and read aloud to me the words writ thereon. And so forth...

At the moment Obama gets his highest marks from me for his speaking style. And by 'speaking style' I mean his ability to speak in complete sentences and his skillful handling of words in excess of two syllables.

On a somewhat related note, I've noticed lately that a lot of people mispronounce the word 'nuclear'...myself, on occasion, included...but I make up for it by always being extra careful how I say 'Uranus.'

As for 6ix, I tend to not take him very seriously most of the time, and he IS an equal-opportunity offender; he doesn't care much for the Bushies either.

My pleasure. And my I say how much I admire your "Troubled Youth" avatar? It sort of sums up how I feel much of the time.

You make a good point that's real easy to forget; I think I've seen other here raise it. Any politician that damn witty and urbane needs extra watching, especially when you take into account those fly-killing reflexes of his.

Anyway, whether China backs the US or North Korea will most likely depend on who seems to be the aggressor. China has aspirations, and it also has enough of the US public and private debt to really hurt the US economy if it so chose. If the US was seen as the aggressor, it would be an ideal opportunity for China to assert itself on the world stage, to show itself willing to square up against the big guys in defence of a smaller weaker nation. It would help to garner political capital through out the region, and among many of the US-unfriendly states (especially Oil producers) that China has been trying to curry favour with, such as Iran. If North Korea were the aggressor, it would be an ideal opportunity for China to assert itself on the world stage and prove itself a friend to the states with all the inherent economic privilege that could bring.

Couldn't agree more with that assessment, Citizen. Seems the only real way for the U.S. to "win" in this situation is by simply refusing to play, or waiting for North Korea to overplay its hand.

Here's a question I have and perhaps someone here can enlighten me.

Does this N. Korean "mystery" ship cause any other country any degree of alarm or apprehension? And I mean in the way that it has apparently caused the U.S. more than a little concern. I understand that the reason is that a missle might just be pointed right at Hawaii, so we're really the only ones threatened. But still . . . The way I understand it is the UN has given the U.S. authority to board the ship and search it's contents if it is felt to be neccesary. But . . . why us? Why do WE have to be the ones to be shadowing this ship and possibly board it to find out exactly what they have on board? Why put the U.S. in that position if we are so hated around the globe?

Because the US wanted to be put in that position.

I'm curious; how many missiles do you suppose WE have pointed at THEM? Do you think THEY might feel "threatened", too?

The difference is 'WE' are predictable while 'THEY' are not. That NK boss is kinda crazy, man. Who know's what 'THEY' will do? On the other hand, everybody knows that 'WE' won't do anything without being provolked by 'THEM' first.

We are 'shadowing' this NK ship for the UN in order to control/prevent nuclear proliferation. The 'July 4 Missile' thing is a slightly seperate issue.

It is in our best interest to stop and board that ship in order to determine wheather or not it has nuclear material on board.

No matter who is in 'The Big Chair', the US will always be a target. It is our leadership's responsibility to stop our enemies from attacking us...and in order to do that they need to be pro-active. Watch and see - that ship will get boarded right after the NK's launch that 'July 4th' missile. That's all the excuse we will need.

As for President Obama ... meh, I'm not too happy/impressed (...and I thought Bush spent
$$$ like a drunken sailor, HA!) ... and I'll leave it at that.
