Wolfgang: of course Europe is more concerned with the conflict between Palestine and Israel than in the threat that North Korea presents. That's a given. But the sooner we recognize that the threat of terrorism is world-wide the better. North Korea, while not an immediate threat to Germany for example, is a threat to other civilized people. That means that it is a threat to Germany, France, and the rest of Europe. I'm much pissed off that France and Germany does not seem to recognize terrorism as a threat to the whole world. If they did, they would join the U. S. in attempting to eradicate it. Not negotiate with it, that's not possible. It has to be wiped out.

If George Bush is re-elected, the U. S. will, with the help of our allies, do everything possible to eleminate the terrorists before they have an opportunity to attack others.

The situation in Russia is an example of what could happen in any country in the world. The terrorist must be killed before they kill others.
