Stay safe, AmericanInTokyo! Prayers up for all in the area.
Ditto that.
Always....and, Amen...
Thank you. I will try not to be overly dramatic here; for I am far from the action in many ways, there are many more I myself worry about (US troops in Korea right on the trip wire, US troops in Northern Japan, citizens in Northern Japan (Hokkaido, Tohoku), etc. etc.) One thing is sure, The President and Washington, D.C. (not to mention the UN tomorrow in Manhattan) is doing the same empty, theatric saber-rattling they did when the Norkies launched Taepodong-2 over Japan at Hawaii on 5 April, then backed down and nothing happened. What does anything THINK Kim Jong il is going to do after that?! So all of these excited, tension-filled yet paper tiger-like warnings and pronouncements and threats and comments coming out of D.C. in the middle of the night are like the boy crying Wolf—sheesh! Pyongyang is SO IMMMUNE TO THIS, HELLLLOOOOO???? (ask Bolton). North Korea knows full what who and what is our State Department and Obama; they havent a single fart of a CARE nor WORRY about any blowback. It is JAPAN and perhaps SOUTH KOREA they truly fear. I for one think Japan should assemble a crack team with Israel, who is facing the same damned problem with Teheran, and go in as a joint allied team and surgically fix this thing, once and for all. I won’t elaborate past what the “fix” would be. But the moral of the story is how to handle a bully in the neighborhood. This “bully” (namely 5-foot2-inch tall trouble making, mentally unbalanced munchkin) is way past his pathetic self life if you ask me.
I join in your prayer!
