United States of Bizarro World
Okay, will someone please explain this to me...
President Bush & the Gang said Iraq needed to be invaded because Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction and either could use them himself or sell them to someone else, thus endangering the lives of American citizens. Bush even went so far as to demand that Saddam Hussein leave his country and disarm or face "shock & awe."
So, almost two years to day of the Iraq invasion, North Korea (part of the "Axis of Evil" along with Count Chocula, Frankenberry, and Iran) claims that in addtion to the nuclear weapons they already had, they now have MORE nuclear weapons- for the purposes of deterring a U.S. invasion.
Now Condaleeza Rice is talking about sanctions for North Korea.
Sanctions?
How does our government justify the invasion of a sovereign nation which has led to the killing of thousands of innocents and over 1,500 U.S. troops on the basis of protecting citizens from weapons of mass destruction that were never found?
And yet here is North Korea who is boasting to the world of their nuclear arsenal.
Let's Review Bush Administration Logic:
Iraq (Pre-Invasion)
Weapons of Mass Destruction + Brutal dictator + Threat to the region = SHOCK & AWE
Korea
Weapons of Mass Destruction + Brutal dictator + Threat to the region = Sanctions (possibly, but only if talks fail)
Do I think we should invade North Korea? NO! But we shouldn't have invaded Iraq either.
What we have here is a WEAK and INCONSISTENT foreign policy.
Iran appears to be working on becoming a nuclear power as well. Funny how cats was all for the Iraq invasion because they thought it would show other countries that they would be "dealt with" if they didn't listen. Talkin' like "yeah, now the world sees that the U.S. means business!"
Indeed the world does. But the other side of the coin is that other countries aren't going to cower under American threats, and if you wanna talk big game you betta walk big game. Iran's leader said he's ready to put on the battle fatigues and fight to the death himself.
Son, I am telling you...Persia is not Iraq. Our military is stretched as it is. We want no parts of World War III.
Not to give "aid" or "comfort" to the "enemies" or anything like that, but that's pretty gangsta that Iran's leader is ready to get down and dirty himself.
Would our President do that?
