Everyone is saying "Bush has been in office for six years. He should have done something" It's kind of hard to do something with a madman running around with nukes now isn't it. Of course Bush is doing something but we can't just declare war against N.Korea, otherwise Kim and his psychopath self will launch nukes like crazy. Who knows how many nukes this guy has.

Clinton and Carter both had the chance to either stop or severely weaken Kim while they were in office. Both could have imposed severe sanctions, could have use spec forces or something. At least Kim didn't have any nukes then, so he couldn't talk the S#$t he is talking now about declaring war on the U.S.
Now I'm not blaming Clinton and Carter but those two could have did more to deal with this issue along with others.

Clinton's counter to McCain's claim that Clinton's policies opened the door for north Korea was that there were no development of nukes during his 8 years in office. Do you think that is true? Do you think Kim Jeong Il waited for Bush to be elected to start working on them?

"Insects do not deserve to be eaten alive especially for a gratuitous marketing gimmick," PETA spokeswoman Jackie Vergerio told Reuters.

Has Jackie ever watched the Discovery Channel? I am sorry to break it to her, but millions if not billions of insects get eaten alive every day.

According to a report published on the BBC world news website, (Iraqi war death toll 'at 655,000', 11th October 2006) "An estimated 655,000 Iraqis have died since 2003 who might still be alive but for the US-led invasion, according to a survey by a US university."

First off, they are starving. The military are the only ones fed. If anyone else is even remotely suspected of being a traitor or saying something negative about the dictator, he is tortured and killed, his entire family is put into a work camp and is forced to labor and is tortured. Women are raped by the soldiers and even children are beaten and tortured.
There is no talking to this government. This dictator told farmers to stop growing crops to feed the people and instead they are ordered to grow poppy for heroin and opium production.
They are a gangster government.
We have to pressure China somehow to not help NKorea but to make war on them and snuff out this very evil horrifying government.
NKorea has threatened a war on us.--assumingly a nuclear attack..
I suggest we take it seriously.

and it is the only country that ever used Nuclear weapons. Is that of more concern than North Korea acquiring nuclear arms ? Also, considering the recent pre emptive invasions US has involved in, isn't it right that North Korea has the right to defend itself from a possible US threat ?

I can understand the concern the US people have when any other country acquire nuclear power especially a country not in good relation with it but as a non US person I feel more concerned about threat of US to world peace.

These Polls show this might be true. What do you think?

The latest Newsweek poll shows the president's approval ratings are at new low, just 33 percent.

http://msnbc.msn.com/id/15167150/site/newsweek/

That's less than the Thirty-six percent of respondents of a recent Scripps Howard/Ohio University poll that said it is "very likely" or "somewhat likely" that federal officials either participated in the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon or took no action to stop them "because they wanted the United States to go to war in the Middle East."

We've seen this before. In 2002 the Democrats' message was, "Get back at 'em for 2000." In 2004, it was, "Bush sucks. I'm not Bush. Vote for me." Now, it's?"Republicans suck. We're not Republicans. Vote for us." And that, friends, is the extent of it. There's no cohesive message beyond this. Even when speaking about the problems in Iraq-admittedly a troubling endeavor for many people, to say the least-the Democrats really have nothing new to say. In fact, what they do say is so old, it's reminiscent of what they've said in conflicts past-if it gets tough, run away.

In congressional races that are tight, it has-as in most cases-more to do with the character of the contest between two individuals than with any one national policy. This is to say that the local character of the race is what ends up being most important.

Admittedly, the Democrats are poised to pick up enough seats to retake the majority in the House of Representatives and will, in all likelihood, close the gap in the Senate, barring an outright takeover there as well. But is this because their ideas are now, after all this time, just that much more appealing?

Not hardly.

Their ideas didn't resonate all those other times because their ideas aren't popular. They aren't resonating now, either. To the extent that the situation in Iraq has had an effect on this election cycle, it's simply because the situation there looks consistently bad, not because the Democrats' alternative on Iraq has any great appeal. This is because there is no coherent Democrat alternative on Iraq, other than running away, very fast.

Winning enough seats in the house because the current majority has problems is hardly an affirmation that anything liberals stand for is worthwhile, which it's not. They will of course convince themselves this is not true, that they've won the philosophical argument for all time just like they did in 1992? two years before they lost it again. What is missing from this logic is the fact that what Democrats normally campaign on remains essentially unchanged from 1992, and that's the last time it did them any good.

In the final analysis, if the Democrats do take over one or both houses of Congress, it will be in spite of themselves, not because they've won anybody over. That will still give them control of that branch of the government, but when all is said and done, that's a flimsy foundation upon which to rest a so-called revolution.

If anyone knows about what has been going on in NKorea in previous decades, you should know that there is no talking to the totalitarian, brutal dictator. He systematically starves off his people and small children roam the streets starving while soldiers ignore them, there is even rumors of cannibalism. He ordered the farmers to stop growing crops in favor of poppy for heroin, anyone who is not in the army is starved to death. The army and government are the only ones fed with relief food shipped which was meant for the poor starving people of his country.
The soldiers sell the relief food in the market to only those who have money while small children sit looking on starved and everyone ignores them. There is a very good hidden camara documentary on this, if they caught this former NKorean who filmed it, they would have him tortured and killed. China sends back desperate NK refugees to NKorea knowing they will be tortured and killed, and if she's pregnant....

The US needs to put the not so obvious facts on the table. "Hey North Korea, we will not attack you, but if you launch ANY pre-emptive nuclear strike on the US, we will wipe N Korea off the map with 100 times the nuclear force. Americans are tired of being threatened and it is time we bring strong language to the table. My point is, let's make these cultures realize that we will not attack but our reponse to an attack will be "catastrophic".
