Yeah, what the hey, Why stop there? Doesn't Grenada or Panama need another asswhoopin'? How about that military juggernaut Lichtenstein? I heard they were beginning to produce bows and arrows, I think they need a pre-emptive, preventive war strike too.

Ah, the hell with it. Why don't they just drop the big one on everybody, maybe they'll be happy then....

1. Cheney's soft on terror! Wants diplomacy!!
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060622/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/us_north_korea_2;_ylt=AhdA8gtTDX48eYgNcEfFRi6CscEA;_ylu=X3oDMTBiMW04NW9mBHNlYwMlJVRPUCUl

Vice President Dick Cheney brushed aside a suggestion by former Defense Secretary William Perry that the Korean missile be obliterated at the launch site.

"I appreciate Bill's advice," Cheney said in an interview with CNN. "I think, obviously, if you're going to launch strikes at another nation, you'd better be prepared to not just fire one shot. And the fact of the matter is I think the issue is being addressed appropriately."

I'm sure No.Korea's not having any oil or heroin had nothing to do with his keenness for diplomacy here? God forbid we get embarrassed by not
being able to shoot down their missle!

3. I tend to think that the administration thinks it will fail
so there is no need for an open attack.

2. Here's why that's a stupid idea
What if several North Korean divisions then mobilize and cross the 38th parallel?
