Re: Should resolve the N Korea problem

To understand this current American government, read everything about the 40 charter members of the "Project for a New American Century". A group that decided we must attack Iraq before even George Jr was elected president. A groups that decided they wanted to recruit George Jr for US president. They advocate an international policy well beyond and different from what any previous American government advocates. This same mentality is also why the US government was talking about military action against China over the silly spy plane incident.

What American government advocates in foreign policy is not consistent with what most Americans advocated. However opinion has sharply changed among younger people since the WTC disaster. Younger public who have no idea about VietNam.

They have become a caldron for "military solutions". This is dangerous for other nations such as N Korea, Iran, Syria, France, Turkey, Pakistan, India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philllippines, Nato, Russia, and even China. This administration has no qualms about attacking today and then asking if we were threatened tomorrow. But since George Jr will be up for relection in just over 1 year, the US military will be silent until after that election.

To understand the problem, the current administration had no knowledge of weapons of mass destuction (WMD) in Iraq. Today's Department of Defense documents make it even more obvious that this right wing, hawkish (militaristic) administration uses political rhetoric rather than international facts to justify its actions. This government is out to fix the world - whether the world wants to be fixed or not.

No American ally, with spies in Iraq, could report WMD in Iraq. We now know that even the Asst Secretary of Defense admits no such information existed. Today's Defense Department documents shows how little to zero information existed on any WMD. But younger Americans are now hyped in military fever. War will now solve any problem - an Ameircan public opinion not seen since 1960s and VietNam.

To understand where all this comes from, read about the 40 right wing extremists who founded the Project for a New American Century. That is where one will understand why American foreign relations have changed so sharply militaristic in but a few years.

N Korea has much to worry about.
