Oh, so now the story is that we need more nukes because N. Korea sold their technology to Pakistan??? Hmmmmmm, bb, this story of yours is ghetting more farfetched every time you post... I mean, if I were Pakistan I'd be purdy danged worriwed if I was suing North Korean designs 'cause they just don't work too good...

So you are basing your foriegn policy around crappy missels, bb??? One somewhat seccessful test does not make Pakistan all worhgt the price of starting another round of ther Cold War over... But that, in essence, is what is going to happen if the United Sates keeps pushing for missles on Rissia's doorstep...

Somehow this little detail seems to escape your relm of undeerstanding...

The US might not win another Cold War with Russia becasue of Russia's oil reserves and new found wealth from those reserves...

This is a failed foreign policy built on 80's thinking... This isn't the 80's anymore, bb... The US is slowly bleeding to death finacially and I don't see much creative thinking, if any, from Bush and his gang...

Einstien said that a problem cannnot be solved with the same consciousness that created it and this is why Bush, apparently like you, cannot shift gears quickly enough to act responsibly and sanely in a modern world...

While you two rattle the sabres one opportunity after another after has been wasted... After 9/11 we had Iran right where we needed Iran... As much as I disliked Clinton personally he would used Iran's coooperation in defeating the Taliban as a grand opening for the normalization of relations...

Anyone who has ever served in the intellegence community will tell you that it's alot easier to keep an eye on folks when you have diplomatic relations... This is a no brainer... But did Bush use this opportunity to make US safer... No, becuase somehow he thought that might not keep his redneck base happy... I mean, it ain't tough and tough is what entertains alot of his base... Stupid base and stupid leader...

How about arguing why you think that diplomacy is for sissies, bb... You never seem to get around to that but, from your almost blind aceoptance of any thing that Bush does, and you full acceptance that the only way to get along in this world is to either whack or threaten whacking folks, it is apparent to most here that you really don't think much of diplomacy...
