ok, but honestly, no one would want to go to war with north korea. how many americans do you know that would get excited about killing kim jong il?
there really is a big difference between iraq and north korea, and i'm not talking about their weapons capabilities.
kim is either a genuis or a moron, but i'm pretty sure its genuis. in the same way, bush is also a lot smarter than most people give him credit for (i'm sure he really needs a high school student's opinion to reassure himself of this).
so, i don't think bush is holding a double standard, bc iraq and nk are two completely different situations. nk is not a larger threat than iraq, bc they are trying to build up their own power, not neccessarily tear down america's.
as far as the approach the US should take, this is were i begin to doubt myself. obviously, military action is out of the question. that leaves diplomacy or ignoring the problem. again, diplomacy isn't on il's agenda. and right now bush is doing a fantastic job of ignoring the problem. he might be getting a lot of criticism, but then again, what are political analysts paid for? all things considered (ok, i'm probably missing a key point), as bad as it sounds, i think the current approach taken by the US toward nk is logical. we'll probably end up dealing with them 20 years down the road. but hey, "money in the military is still money in the economy" (right).
mike, i'm dying to know your opinion on this question, as i'm sure you're dying to say it.
that is all.
