2004....Who do we waste next?

[Bob McDob]

Nobody here actually cares, This threat may now be nuclear but we have been threatened 12473744732 more times than I can remember. If you've been threatened all your life it doesn't really matter if you are threatened again.

So you don't actually mind we go in and cut loose on your northern neighbors, then? No pointing fingers and bitching at the USA?

Go right ahead. Just as long as you can spare me from getting killed in the process. If you have a way to do it without wasting us in the process I'm all for it.

And about bitching student protesters, those people have nothing else to do so they bitch about the government, the USA, the whales...

It's not like the whole populace agrees with fanatical student protesters. So just don't mind them Think of them as somewhat like JW's ... It's not like they're going to pull a 9/11 or anything, our local riot police can take care of them.

Hehe, South Korea has more in common with the US than it realizes.

We could answer the Venezeualn call and try to oust Chavez. Of course, in that case, I'd advocate letting the existing government infrastructure remain. The unionists and oil men will sort it out from that point on - with a minor American presence for about a year, of course. This seems less dangerous - and more profitable - than invading Colombia.

Colombia, especially with the recent innovation of a People's Militia which defends their own villages (which will no doubt be as effective as the Thai Tahang Prang if properly supported by the regular army), can probably win their own war. However, taking out the Chavez regime, I have always contended, would probably be the best way to end the civil war in Colombia, as Chavez is a major supplier of arms and general aide to the guerrillas in Colombia.

Why bother? Castro's old and the people hate him. Trying to kill him now would just piss off the people we're trying to save. It'd make more sense to lift the embargos so we can send Castro more cigars and have him die of lung cancer or something.

Well, we've got all those exiles hanging around in Miami, and I thought they might like to have some fun. Besides, I've always wanted to filibuster a country.

I don't know how the North's was during the Cold War, but its economy is spirally down into oblivion, half the population is has no food and is eating each other, and the military they're starving millions to keep up is next to useless.

Wasn't it a similar situation in Red China during the "Great Leap Forward"??

Maybe but North Korea has not experienced anything like Mao's Cultural Revoulution.
