And why should we give them food if they’re building nuclear reactors for terrorist sponsoring states?

True that, but then, why should we give any country anything? This isn’t the United States of Make a Wish Foundation. Foreign “aid” is paid for by the blood and sweat of American citizens. We should be looking at the more fundamental issue of the immorality of such a system.

see-dubya, I agree that Putin’s rooting for the other side, for self-serving reasons. I wonder how he plans to control them though.

John Bolton – Yes
Juan McCain – No

See Dubya,

So the John McCain who doesn’t want us to waterboard islamofascists off and on, and who wants us to close down Gitmo is going to be tougher on North Korea than Bush? If so with what level of force?

I am skeptical about that point with respect to McCain.

To take an honest tougher stance with the Norks (I like that term), requires us to let them have it militarily, will South korea go along with it militarily? How about the Red Chinese loaded to the gills with our dollars? Will an Amreican public go along with it after the bungling of intelligence leading up to the iraq War, and the Vietnam style “limited war” we now have in Iraq, (but not going after Syria and Iran for supplying the IEDs)?

Unless North Korea and Iran attacked the US proper, I honestly doubt there will be enough desire within the US to do what is needed with respect with either country; The Israelis will probably end up taking care of Iran as an act of self-preservation.

Rhetoric from McCain and anyone else in all fairness is just rhetoric without the capacity to do what is necessary. That’s my take. What do you say?

Appeasement seems to be the order of the day, when it comes to our enemies. Chamberlain would be proud. Putin is only interested in new allies, trade customers and more political influence in the world, much like the old Soviet Union.

Problem, Luigi: I think Putin’s rooting for the other side in the War on Terror.

Just remember, we may need Putin before the end on the War on Terror.

You know we can’t count on the EU.

On Russia, Bolton – the hardest of hard-liners when he was in the Bush administration – said McCain “takes an even harder line than I do. He wants to toss them out of the G-8. He is not about to be pushed around by an assertive Putin.”

I think I now have a reason to vote for McCain and not just against Hillbama.
