I agree with you to a certain point.

... But what of the cost of letting the accused prove you right?
I'm not suggesting we bomb North Korea because we "think" they'll attack someone. However, the extent of our ability and the values from which our nation is founded upon - those being of Freedom and Justice - should already be clear enough that preemtive action can be justified and necessary against those that threaten and aggressively oppose them. I don't think this logic is naive.

Don't forget my personal favorite, Rods from God. Telephone poles of tungsten metal thrown at the earth from space. All the effects of a nuke without all the messy fallout.

wouldnt the tungsten burn up due to the heat of the atmospher? tungsten is also what they use for electrode in welding.

Well that's what the article said, Rods from God | Popular Science.

i still dont know...i still think the tungsten will burn..tungsten is also a really good heat conducter.

Well, it's like showing off wares for sell, seeing how they are undoubtedly selling weaponry to other counties. Also in light of the Nuclear tech they recently got, it puts everyone over the edge on it going on the black market. Secondly it's a rouge nation and does not care for who they would potentially kill when it comes to a sell of arms for there need for money (they are in an economic disaster). Not to mention that they threaten to shoot down any spy planes that where watching the site. Lastly the biggest concern is the potential for Iran to get a hold of this tech, leading to a more volatile situation with them.

All congress needs is 60 percent. With only 57 seats, they only need 3 Republicans to vote for there proposals to have an super majority (which means no one can stop them from passing anything). The chance for us to go to war with anyone now is next to zero, well I mean our "Overseas Contingency Plan" (War on Terror) seems to be going like he wanted. Well we are going back to 9/11 pre-mentality, if we have another "man-caused disaster" (terrorist attack) I would bet it would be Obama's fault for letting it happen. I mean he already sold out the USA to the G-20 summit, also he continues to down-play the War on Terror (closing of Gitmo without an actual plan, thus causing terrorist cases to be dropped potentially allowing them to go free). I mean how can you deny one serge and expect to get credit for another, when you won't give credit to one?

Congress is made up of the House and the Senate. Neither of those halves of Congress are 60+% Democratic.

You mean not being the world's police and biggest target? I am all for that.

Who are you wanting to go to war with that we aren't already?

We will never return to pre-9/11 mentality. What American could forget 9/11?

Was 9/11 Pres. Bush's "fault for letting it happen"?

Woah...what right-wing radio talk show host do you waste time listening to? Hannity? Limbaugh? These are not news sources, but guys paid to stir things up.

and causing individuals who have been imprisoned for months, and even over a year, without being accused of a crime to finally be processed.

I don't know what surge you are talking about, but imprisoning and torturing our enemies is not the type of behavior that gets them to back down.

This thread is full of posts filled with information that appears to be collected in schoolyards and cafeterias. Spend five minutes and read an article, people. Don't depend on what your classmate or AM radio talking head says.

I don't know. They seem similar in nature to many of the various left-wing talk shows I've seen and heard. I don't listen to a lot of Hannity or Limbaugh... But I find it funny how Liberals despise them so much.

Don't overlook the fact that some North Koreans want to escape their country. There are some sad stories of families seperated or killed in their desperate attempts to reach the South.

The way I see it, the Korean Wars aren't over yet. The DMZ is a good example of why.

Limbaugh: ‘I Hope Obama Fails’

We are playing tit-for-tat now, but never has a left-wing radio host or pundit wished for the American president to FAIL just to prove a point.

Why would someone wish for the president to fail?
