North Korea

Written by RJ Elliott

Kim Jong-il has been busy lately. You just haven't heard much about it because of the war in Iraq.

For a taste, look here, here, and here.

I don't think we're gonna be celebrating our victory in the Gulf War II for long before we find ourselves in the middle of the Korean War II...

LOL... Well, North Korea has been acting up like the ignored child... Still... with Bush in office and he loving to wave guns in the air and shoot off his mouth at the drop of a hat with no real deep thought on it... I can see two more wars before we elect his stupid ass out. If this world can make it two more years.

Besides... he's next to Iran now... I am sure he's trying to find a reason to invade there as well.

It reminds me of the Romans so much, it's scary.

We've had our military on Iran's border ever since the Taliban fell. So, now we've got them *surrounded*. ;-)

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

The problem with going to war against North Korea is that their troops are already within artillery range of Seoul. Business is good for South Korea, and they are not enthusiastic about having a war screw things up for them.

No sane president would invade Iran. Short of going nuclear, we would get our asses kicked. A blockade would be a more reasonable idea, but those borders seem pretty porous; given our difficulty securing our own borders, I'm not sanguine about sealing Iran's. Maybe we should try to do to Iran what Germany did to Russia in WWI: find some charismatic opposition leaders here in the U.S. and sneak them back into Iran.

My guess is the next invasion would be Syria. Sharon will use that Jedi mind trick on Bush again and send him in to look for those confounded WMDs.
