Would you choose a stable but harsh dictatorship on your border that works with your government, or a government that could cause major upheavels in your country because you decided to impose sanctions against it?Brenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05471510250599641166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27589113.post-1152294506238865882006-07-07T13:48:00.000-04:002006-07-07T13:48:00.000-04:00Martini, welcome.

Earth unfortunately is not yet a place where there's no need for a superpower; and although we've done things I disagree with, I'm thankful it's the US that's the superpower.<BR/>The Chinese are the key here though. What economic health there is in N. Korea is tied to the Chinese. But as of yet they're not willing to put down hard sanctions.Zebsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684616018807468693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27589113.post-1152294003132687032006-07-07T13:40:00.000-04:002006-07-07T13:40:00.000-04:00Shel, not realizing that you were Zeb's wife I tho...Shel, not realizing that you were Zeb's wife I thought, damn right!

I am not sure how to think about this. Of course, diplomacy is key, but what was the purpose of this missile display. (or the phlat of display at that). My first thought was, is this a red herring? Is he in cahoots with Iran's Ahma..you know the rest (sorry, can't seem to get the name at this time of the night) and is he just causing a lot of smoke in order to be a distraction of what might be going on somewhere else? Very conspiracy minded I suppose, but there does not seem to be sense to it. Of course, spending all your money on arms and nada for your population is not exactly sane either, but I am not knowledgable at all about the history of this so I am just trying to approach it with 'the logic according to Ingrid'. Not much good that might be in the 'reality based world' but there you have it.<BR/>Let's hope that it was all just a bunch of drama and that next week the gas prices go back down..Damn dirty Ding dong guy!<BR/>Ingrid, losing her ability to think coherently..<BR/>hope your stepson will remain safe!Ingridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543677729320023767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27589113.post-1152233545144949462006-07-06T20:52:00.000-04:002006-07-06T20:52:00.000-04:00It's the Marine in me coming out!
