Yes the US has been and is a bully. But isn't it funny how the entire world always turns to the US when **** hits the fan. If something happens, it's always...the US needs to send troops, the US needs to send aid, the US needs to send negotiators. So...although I agree that they are a bully...the world always relies on US to do the dirty work.

Uh, where did I state my desire to start a war? I was simply pointing out the lack of consistency in the Bush Administration's position. I have no idea how you saw my comments of me condoning war. The only thing I was doing was pointed out the hypocracy of the regime in Washington and what a bunch of cowards they really are.

Ok then.

If I were running the show I'd do nothing directly. This is a regional matter. I would allow China, South Korea, Japan and Russia to carry the mail. This matter is more pressing for them than it is for my country. I would provide what ever assistance I could from a diplomatic perspective, but this is not something where my country should be leading the way. Diplomacy is the only solution that the United States can even consider IMO, and they can't lead the charge either. This is NOT their concern.
If America is so damn afraid of the nuclear potential of an attack, then stop acting like a bully around the world. IMO, its only a matter of time before an American city gets hit with a nuclear bomb, and frankly I doubt anyone outside of North America will shed a tear. America reaps what it sows, and all these years of beating down nations rather than helping them up is sure to come home to roost. Sadly, a lot of good people, whose only sin is living in this country, are likely to die for the ignorant actions of power hungry politicians in Washington.
BTW, I'm wondering if anyone else is aware that Rumsfeld provided the capability for North Korea to build their nuclear program? Seems that where ever he goes to share technology, a decade or so later a new tyranical regime springs up. Coincidence?

Well we know what you would do then.
