So which country is more liable to supply nuclear weapons to terrorists - Iraq, just certified as having no nuclear program, or North Korea, which tells everyone about theirs? That's why Bush plans to attack the former, but believes we can deal with the latter "thru diplomacy". Go figure. -- The Philadelphia Talk Radio Politics and Opinion Forum

In reply to: William 's message, "It is right and just for the US to take pains to root out terrorists and the regimes which support them. We were attacked before, during, and after 9/11 and there must be steps taken to root out these regimes which support militant terrorists and the thugs they support, train, supply, and will supply. Bush is far more honest, up front, and to the point than that show boat administration before him. That is a welcome change. He might not be perfect and I have disagreements with some of this administration's policies but overall he is a far cry from what the alternative was." on 23:11:52 03/08/03 Sat

[> [> [> [> Chris, who is certifying Iraq as having no nuclear weapons program? Hans Blix? There has been evidence of Saddam's nuclear weapons program as recently as year 2002 and even recently. There are numerous military officers and scientists who have defected who have given testimony that Saddam is working on WMDs including biological weapons, chemical weapons, and nuclear weapons.

The objective is to prevent him from doing so for he is insane and has already proven by his own actions that he will use them on others. If we do not wish him to use them on us then we must take steps to stop him.

The UN has allowed Saddam to get away with breaching the cease fire agreement he made during the Gulf War. Saddam Hussein was supposed to disarm but instead he played hide and seek.

The US lit a fire under Saddam's ass and the UN's ass. We are finding that the UN security council is now a weak and insignificant group of civil rights abusers and tyrants, such as China, Russia, Syria, Libya, and others, and appeasers and enablers like France and Germany, rife with anti-Semitic elements and a large Islamic population which they fear and now a possessing a US envy as well as anti-US sentiment (again based on envy).

Regarding North Korea, do you know how many nuclear weapons North Korea has? You say they are telling everyone about theirs yet who knows how many they have, if any? The US provided them with nuclear power plants, which North Korea is not using in the process of nuclear weapons. Too bad the US helped a country which has turned out to be led by a crazy man, Kim Il Jung.

I think you are projecting the cowardice and lack of responsibility of our previous president, William Jefferson Clinton, onto our current president, George W. Bush. If Bush is in office I expect him to deal with North Korea militarily if necessary.

In this case he has a different set of neighbors from Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, etc. The area of the Middle East is a harbinger of Islamofascism and the Islamofascist movement.

The Chinese, Russia, Japan, and South Korea should be concerned about North Korea. If they act like they countries opposing the toppling of Saddam Hussein are now acting, then the world has truly gone to sleep. These groups, China, South Korea, Russia, and Japan should step up to the plate and deal with North Korea.

You said that the US is dealing with North Korea with diplomacy. I don't see it. The US refuses to deal with North Korea period until they get off their nuclear weapons kick.

If you do not think that the US will engage North Korea if necessary then you are entitled to your belief as am I. I think that with Bush as president, someone with some backbone, the US will engage North Korea if necessary. Provided the US does not wait until it is too late, the US could defeat North Korea and the people of North Korea would be much happier as a result of it. At least they will eat and sleep better and enjoy a higher standard of living than they are under their current leadership.

[> [> [> [> [> [> Blix has already revealed a bias in his reporting and has extended beyond his role as chief inspector by injecting conjecture and theory into his interpretations of Iraq's weapons and their intended use as well as his interpretation of such subjects as aluminum tubes, chemicals, shells, movement of materials and satellite photographs of said recorded activity. I believe Collin Powell, Condaleezza Rice, and George W. Bush, George Tenet, and others before I would believe Hans Blix or Saddam Hussein, and I would believe the Bush administration before I would believe Saddam Hussein. -- William, 15:11:08 03/09/03 Sun (cache-dq01.proxy.aol.com/205.188.209.133)

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Chris, don't cry and please stop exaggerating. I never said "everyone" is bias, you said that. I never said I was not or am not bias, you said that. I am bias about a great many things. I support the president regarding Iraq and Saddam Hussein. I am pro-life and I oppose abortion. I am bias toward parents raising children at home and not farming them out to day care, preschool, etc. This does contribute to the deterioration in the fabric of our society in a number of levels for children do not bond as stronly with their parents and have a more fractured upbrining through this practice. -- William, 14:39:19 03/10/03 Mon (cache-dq01.proxy.aol.com/205.188.209.133)

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> I favor extended breastfeeding babies over formula/bottle feeding. I am bias against much of what passes for "music." I favor Latin, Classical, Jazz, Rock, Country, Cajun, Hawaiian, Indian, Chinese, Japanese and a few other forms of music over hip-hop, rap, and heavy metal. I am have a bias for Indian, Chinese, Thai, Italian, Burmese, Vietnamese, and a few other forms or styles of food over McDonald's, meat and potatoes, etc. I definitely have my own biases. In the case of the UN weapons inspectors, Hans Blix is overstepping his role as chief inspector and siding with Iraq and the French. -- William, 14:46:07 03/10/03 Mon (cache-dq01.proxy.aol.com/205.188.209.133)
