| I was reading an issue of New York Times | | | | have immunity against prosecution and |
| magazine and it said the North Koreans fired | | | | therefore the US cannot do much about it |
| 6 missiles on July 6 and caused an | | | | publicly in the face of a nuclear |
| international furor. I googled it and found | | | | crisis.Typically US promises aid to countries |
| over a million listings that developed in the | | | | like South Africa who abandoned their nuclear |
| last two weeks about the incident. I also | | | | program in favor of more peaceful economic |
| found out that India also is testing nuclear | | | | ties. This is not possible with North Korea |
| warheads and got me to thinking, hmm.What | | | | who seem isolated in the world market.On the |
| does this mean? Well, the unpopular war in | | | | other side of the world, US soldiers are |
| Iraq has cost US over 300 trillion dollars in | | | | being found guilty of atrocities and are |
| the last few years and Bush administration's | | | | presently being prosecuted in US courts |
| war in terrorism was caught off guard over | | | | facing possible death penalties and so forth. |
| North Korea's incident. Clearly with most of | | | | I guess the war on terrorism has not ended |
| US armed forces stationed at the Gulf Coast, | | | | and we see no possibilities of US backing out |
| US cannot possibly destroy the nuclear | | | | of an unpopular war. In the rest of the world |
| arsenal in North Korea, although it has the | | | | suicide bombers and terrorist tactics are not |
| capability to do so. Any attacks on North | | | | considered an important problem as compared |
| Korea would start off a war with China or | | | | to hunger and famine and lack of |
| USSR and that would be too costly. Therefore | | | | technolgy,etc.What would you do if you were |
| the diplomatic efforts to get other nations | | | | in President Bush's shoes? I wonder |
| to create an economic sanctions against North | | | | sometimes. Long time ago I vowed not to get |
| Korea in an effort to tone down the | | | | involved in discussion about politics or |
| possiblity of a nuclear war.What is | | | | religion but decided that I will make an |
| interesting about this is that the North | | | | exception just this one time. I always |
| Koreans have been counterfeiting US currency | | | | believed that economic growth and |
| and using them in Europe and other places | | | | international trade is a more favorable |
| around the world. The North Korean diplomats | | | | option to war. |
