After Gallipoli, they said Churchill’s political career was over. Although McC is getting up there…
>The USA will not invade any brutal dictatorship after Democrats Kennedy and McDemott likened our government to Hussein’s.
The question of whether to allow a country like North Korea to build up a nuclear weapons arsenal, which it will probably export, is not a partisan issue, contrary to popular belief (Clinton’s willingness to consider war proves this). In the mainstream of US politics there is, or will be, agreement on this issue, once the significance of the uranium operation sinks in. I have to believe that reason will win the day because the alternative is an era of nuclear terrorism that could kill hundreds of millions of people.
>The world wants nuclear war. It wants to exterminate Israel. The best course for the USA is cynicism, sand-bagging, and sardonic laughter. The world must remember what’s it like without Pax Americana; without a powerful democracy opposing Socialism. Only after much of the world lies in ruins will America be able to respond.
If the worst nightmares come to pass, yes, that will change global views towards the US in general and on the proliferation issue in particular. But passively allowing this to happen is something we must not do. That is too high a price to pay and I think you know it.
