North Korea, is a Nuclear Power.I begin by stating the obvious, so we can move beyond the relentless Bush rhetoric and propaganda that North Korea must somehow be denied its weapon. Much will be said over the coming weeks by the Bush Administration about what we must do as a nation to stop this threat. There is no stopping this event; so get used to the facts. North Korea, fought a nuclear armed Harry Truman to a draw in one of the more vicious wars we've ever fought. When General Douglas MacArthur requested that nukes be used on North Korea to save their war, it signaled the limit of American conventional military power. Are we Americans to now believe that King George and Donald Rumskull can do what Truman and MacArthur could not? Nothing has changed in the decades since then, other than North Korea now has enough conventional military might, with 1.5 million soldiers and thousands of artillery guns pointed at Seoul, South Korea, set to destroy that city in the opening volley of any war with the US; killing an estimated 2 million South Koreans and wiping out the entire US 8th Army stationed in South Korea in the first 24 hours of battle. Furthermore, any all out war between the US and North Korea will involve China. To put this in perspective, if China went to war with Mexico and it lead to the bombing of Mexico City, would you expect the US to not counter attack China? Of course the thought is absurd. But is that reality lost on G.W. Bush and the psychopaths who advise him? My point is that there is no military option with regards to North Korea; unless that option includes the destruction of major US cities as collateral damage. Furthermore, if the Bush Administration pursues more economic sanctions against the North Koreans, an act they have said numerous times in the past is an act of war, that could also push the isolated nation into a corner and create an even deeper military crisis. Deja vous? This seems to be the ham fisted way the Bush Administration psychopaths like to conduct their foreign policy. We must not allow the Bush Administration to spin a serious crisis into yet another political stunt; especially when the Administration and the GOP leadership are now in a free fall over the Rep. Mark Foley (R) sex scandal. They are desperate to divert attention away from this administration ending sex scandal; because if they lose the House and perhaps the Senate there will be a firestorm of investigations by the Congress into various GOP crimes. The danger here is ominous. The stakes couldn't be higher. The record of incompetence is monumental. The consequence could be unthinkable. George Bush and his cohorts could easily trigger and lose a war with North Korea and China, just to try and win the 2006 elections? Or more likely, to avoid investigations this Winter by a Democratic Congress, too preoccupied with a war in Korea. Let me say that again; George Bush would lose any war with North Korea. This president is way, way out of his league now. His advisers have proven themselves to be reckless and dangerous ideologues who have sold the American people a pact of lies that are causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent Arabs, and could cost millions of Korean, Chinese, and yes, American lives. With this in mind, we the people must oppose any form of aggression by the out of control Bush cabal against the North Koreans. We must force this administration to abide by all of the United Nations security counsel rulings on this matter; with no deviations. Diplomacy that leads to the ending of all threats and hostilities by the US over the lost Korean War, must be the goal. Forget about the goofy coverage in the media about the clownish North Koreans bent on our destruction. North Korea does not want to take over the world, then or now. Nor does it want to destroy the United States. It wants what all people want; the universal right to exist as a people, a nation, and a culture.
