Bottom line is N. Korea needs a major ass kicking - they cannot be allowed to develop and sell nuclear weapons. Even if this means we must use nukes as a first strike.
The same goes for Iran as well.
One reason we need Bush to win in 2004 - I feat a democrat president would just hide his head in the sand and ignore the problems, and by then nuclear weapons will be out everywhere.

Mike, I suspect you think that another reason for Bush to win in 2004 is that he is anti-acne, and the Democrats want to promote it in order to satisfy the powerful dermatologist lobby. Well, that and you don't believe that Democrats are real Americans and that they support anti-American causes.
With regard to North Korea ... unilateral action must be the last resort. A successful and peaceful resolution is much more likely to be achieved by joint action with China and Russia.
And a first strike using nuclear weapons against North Korea will guarantee that anyone else on the planet who has them will no longer be restrained from using them - which is not a good idea.
As far as Iran goes ... I don't believe a word out of this administration's mouth when it comes to the region. Doesn't mean I don't think Iran is working toward a nuclear capability - just means that before I believe it coming from the Bush Administration Terhan's nuclear reactors better be fucking glowing in the dark.
