Hate To Say It, But...
Somebody deserves a great big "I told you so" over the latest news from North Korea.
Evidently Kim Jong Il wanted everyone to know that George W. Bush does not have the market cornered on pre-emptive strikes. They, too, would strike pre-emptively with their nuclear arsenal if they felt a US attack was eminent. Whether or not they have a nuclear arsenal is a subject of debate, yet it is far more probable that North Korea currently has nuclear capability than it was probable that Saddam was even trying to arm himself with nuclear weapons. (ie: no recent weapons inspections, no recent devastating wars, a border with Putin's Russia, a recognizable and legitimate atomic energy program, etc).
I have been pretty political here recently, so now it is your turn to either tell me I am nuts or tell me that you think something is going wrong, too. Here goes:
Does pre-emptive war actually make us more safe? What do you think?
