Sorry, I dodged your point re: North Korea. How about "benign neglect". I suspect they'll collapse as did the Soviet Union. Talk about global superpowers. Now this is where I show my true colors. The USA "is" the global superpower.
We are very dangerous. Every four years we get together and, supposedly voice our "freedom" And freedom has it's nasty side. Well, as does life.
I don't own a gun. I'd shoot myself. But I be-lieve that gun-ownership by ordinary civilians whether "militia" or not is a necessary evil. How else did the slaughter if the innocents of WWII take place. they couldn't defend themselves. This is a world "red in tooth
and claw"
Frankly, I was sickened by the demonstrations in Belfast. I grew up in the IRA
b.s. Now, what that has to do about addressing your point about NK. Well, maybe they'd, to borrow a street phrase, "kick our *rses"
Sorry to be so all over the place, but...thanks for responding so pertinently. Regards, Cockeyed>
