I have no misconceptions on who the good and bad guys are. I'm just very cognizant of the selectivity of this nation. When the reason why the US went to war with Iraq changes on a month basis almost, I have to start questioning the rationale.
As for not going to war with a democracy, perhaps not, but the US has never had a qualm about deposing democracies when they disagree with the US, note Iran (1950's), Greece (1960's) and Chile (1970) as just three examples. larry On 8/17/05, Robert Munn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Actually I think we could pretty effectively destroy North Korea militarily, > but they would wipe out most of South Korea before we could do anything about > it.
