Doesn't it seem like we are watching the start of WWIII?
Really...
Its WWII all over again...we are watching countries like Iran and North Korea grow strong, while the rest of the world picks it's nose.
I don't want to make this a political discussion....
But shouldn't the world do something?
Are we going to wait until crazy leaders have nukes?
Then what do we do?
We start sitting on them hard...as a whole planet.
If they don't want to listen...then we go in and take them out.
It has to be that way.
You try to reason first, but eventually people have to have the balls to do something...so we don't have WWII all over again.
What is worse, small scale war versus Iran or North Korea...or nuclear war?

wow...perfect jason
Actually, jason, Islam is reeling from the battle of Diu in 1508-09. The sacking of Baghdad has as much to do with Dar es Islam's decline as the sacking of Rome does to our own Dark Ages. It was Romes fall in 476 that broke Christian civilization for 300 years, not the sack of the city.
Anyhoo, I am sticking to games 'non-politicization' of this topic. I wanted to point out a huge difference between the two nuclear issues from this year. On one hand is Iran, a Shi'ite Islamic theocracy against the creation of Israel, and who supports the spread of Shia Islam into neighboring countries. This is their fundamental status. They have supported Shi'ite groups who also use terror, and this is where they have crossed so many people. Their country is is the most educated in all of Islam, the people dont usually agree to their gov't, and they want to better themselves and their country. This country has gone ahead and stated they are developing nuclear fuel so they can increase power supplies. Everyones fear is that they will give the fissle fuel to terrorists.
Turn to N. Korea. It is a secular Communist dictatorship whose intentions are mostly unknown except that they desire the unification of the peninsula under their rule. They have a long history of provoking other nations and resorting to brinkmanship to get what they want. Their country cant feed itself, cant support an infrastructure, nor can it exist without outside help. It exists only as a military machine, and device of its leader. N.Korea has taken the next step and tested a nuclear weapon despite not being under threat from anyone.
Which is the greater security threat?
I cant say a word more without 'politicizing' the issue.
Why not? jason did, the second he pulled out the "liberal" card here:
Now we have liberals and the media doing a full-court press blubbering deluge of how bad it is to lose 3,000, and how we need to extend Constitutional protections to the enemy.
Politicize all you want. Game's buying it, even though he said not to do it.
it was written so damn well, I had to give him props
I have bloggers integrity. :)
So do I. :)
rhyno--
Iran is the greater threat, since the End of Times is the stated goal of their leadership. The Jews will be annhilated first; there have been Hamas members here in Chicago praising the Ayatollahs for continuing Hitler's work. These people see Hitler in a positive light.
North Korea isn't going to nuke the United States. The threat there is that they become a nuclear K-Mart for the religious lunatics of the same mindset described above. We need either to 1) blockade the country so nothing gets out and/or 2) threaten the Chinese that if they've don't stop all trade with North Korea, we will give Japan and South Korea offensive nuclear capability.
Unfortunately Bush is much more similar to his critics than a lot of people like to admit.
On Islamic civilization, I mark 1258 as the beginning of the decline, given the destruction of the Grand Library of Baghdad, which made the Tigris flow black with ink. After that Malmuk and Turkish warlords dominated Islam politically and respect for reason, learning, and discovery diminshed.
