I think there should be a very large nuclear explosion at Yongbyon one moonless night.

"Mr. Bush, your comments on the explosion in North Korea"

"Very unfortunate. Accidents happen. Third world nations should not play with nuclear materials-someone might get hurt".

[ROKGRUNT]

This "stupid redneck" is definatly saying we are above the rest of the world.As a matter of fact the world be damned!And as for our President (who I support) maybe if he would have done something like vaporizing medina after 9-11 instead of listening to advisors and worring about what the rest of the world thinks we would've had osama handed over to us by his own people.

[goldilucky]

We might as well do this in a quiet sense as N. Korea and other enemies are going about in quiet manner to attack us.

[philosofy123]

I agree. Moslems did the atrosities. Then, we destroy their dearest place, Mecca. Now they know that they cannot f##k with us.

[discostu]

It depends on what the world decides to do about it, being on the wrong end of a large trade embargo would really suck, inspiring more nutjobs to take down our buildings would suck even more. The world certainly needs a leader, but you don't become that leader by pissing everyone else off. America does need to do what's best for America, and getting into two shooting wars on opposite sides of the planet at the same time probably isn't on that list, getting into wars that can be avoided (and I'm not talking massive appeasal here, intelligent avoidance) is NEVER on the list.

[discostu]

Or maybe 1 billion muslims, most of whom currently have little or no opinion on the terror war, would have taken up arms against us and over run the country. Horking off 1/5 of the world's population is not bright, war is won by killing those we must but not by giving the enemy soldiers faster than we can kill them.

[discostu]

No then they know we're everything OBL has been telling them we are. Being better than those around us means acting with higher moral character, not being faster on the draw with bigger weapons.

[DB]

Really? What about the two nukes he is believed to already have? The consequences can be a little high if you miscalculate...

[per loin]

The consequences of two nukes are dwarfed by the consequences of dozens of nukes being sold by North Korea to any nation or terrorist group with cash.

If you haven't seen this, it is worth a look: Kim Has Bush In Nuclear Trap

[DB]

Over the long term yes but that doesn't mean Bush is a failure because he doesn't start bombing NK tomorrow.

[ROKGRUNT]

Personally I don't care about pissing off a group of people who worship a rock and still wipe thier hind end with thier fingers.They already pissed me off when they wiped out 3000 of me fellow citizens.My opinion is the rest of the world could care less about us and given the chance would do anything to defeat us,but the truth of the matter is if every non-american in the world took up arms against us it would make no difference what so ever.We would still kick thier butt!

[discostu]

Problem is there's 1 billion Muslims. All they need is rocks and pointy sticks and they can over run any country on the planet. Make it the whole world against America that 4 billion 720 million vs 280 million (worse than that actually since a significant part of our 280 million is Muslim and would switch sides if we started doing things your way). We lose. This is why we can't be dumb asses and go off half cocked dropping bombs any old place we want, if we did things your way America wouldn't last out the year, hell we'd be lucky to make it to the beginning of the baseball season. You might not care, but luckily short sighted morons like you will never get to the halls of power.

[ROKGRUNT]

Moron no, middle aged man just venting, probably.If you think any muslims are for us then I question your mental faculties.Your odds of the whole world against America still seem to be in our favor to me.And thats even discounting sniveling little doom sayers who soil themselves at the mention of jihad.It's been a pleasure having this discussion with you.Hope to debate you on the next topic soon.

[discostu]

Sorry, I know muslims, most of them are pretty mellow people, one of them I knew who had founded a group dedicated to peace in Israel (yes, Israel, not Palestine, he's actually the guy that gave me the low down about Palestine being nothing more than a phoenetic coruption of Philistine) was assassinated by OBL's men. I know QUITE well that there are muslims for us, there are also muslims lacking opinion and just going about their lives, then there's the nut jobs, which they don't have a monopoly on. I also know that muslims don't worship the obelisk in Mecca, and I know to put spaces after periods. Plenty of mental faculties here. We're out numbered on this rock 20 to 1, ask England about what happens when you're out numbered 20 to 1, or look up the Zulu uprising yourself, wielded in sufficient quantities rocks and stones are the ultimate weapon.
