Taliesn, I suppose it's possible that your point and Bobert's point might not have been clearly understood by all concerned. Let me try one more time:

DougR: Yes. You are right. North Korea has nuclear weapons. So, we can all agree that

(1) North Korea has a monomaniacal dictator,
(2) it poses a threat to its neighbors and to American interests, and
(3) it possesses weapons of mass destruction.

These are all the conditions that, according to President Bush, make it essential for us to prepare to go to war against Iraq, IMMEDIATELY, without waiting for the U.N. or anybody else.   

So...Why shouldn't President Bush call for an IMMEDIATE war against North Korea?

Doug, I think that is a reasonable question. I'd be interested to know what your answer is.

Aloha,
Mark
