If NK attacks..our men on the front will die...people will then blame bush. He better understand this..it will be the end of his admin...Just when he thinks hes got things under control this could bring him down. He needs to pull our guys out immed..tell china ans sk to handle it..then politically he can still blame on Klinton policy. If he doesnt act the press and even right thinking people can place blame on him,
Comments??
Yes, I have one. You presuppose that the American people would not be even mildly upset while thousands of our men were being killed by the North Koreans.
People will not blame the President. Rather, in response to a set-piece attack, we would have no alternative but to mobilize the reserves, reinstitute the draft, and go all out. Which this President would. Which we, as a people, would fight. We are made of sterner stuff than you suppose.
I have an awful feeling in my gut that the War on Terror has passed into history. The Third World War is about to begin.
Be Seeing You,

It's not just that the Third World War has begun (probably started with the 1993 bombing of the WTC, with the Prelude being the Gulf War), it's that ALL of our enemies are playing to our strengths (military and economic).
Whether on the battlefield or in the banks, the U.S. rules; there simply isn't any serious competition to us. Where we were losing was back when the battles were being fought in the press, the UN, and in diplomatic "negotiations".
But on the battlefield?! Oh please. Throw me in that briar patch.
In the market? Again, thow me into that briar patch.
A large, modern war, with nukes, chems, and bios deployed clearly favors the U.S. We have more of all of the above. Ours is better and faster and more lethal, too. Our population is fully dispersed geographicly, and our borders are more defendable than any of our enemies' borders are for them against our weapons systems.
So let our enemies continue to play to our strength. It is in WAR that we can defeat them.
It was the peace where we were at risk. 600 votes going the other way in 2000, for instance, would pretty much set us up to lose this war, had the slightest changes in our peace manifested themselves inopportunely...
