In every generation, there is evil must be stopped.

I'm all for talking with NK... I don't enjoy extortion but I might live with it.

I hope China makes them re-think their plans.

I hope Little Kim backs down.

I'm not for war.

But every generation has its evil must be confronted.

The Taliban
Radical Islamic Terrorism
And now we have a child-like idiot in NK who now has nukes and has stated his desire to threaten the US.

Pacifism was great before WW2 until the war came to our shores.

(Yes, Trump sucks big league and I would be so much happier if O or HRC was in charge....but you have to deal with the unfortunate)




Go ahead...Flame away.

The evil currently facing our "generation" (whatever the hell you mean by that word) is the "moran" [sic] currently occupying the White House. You aid and bet that evil by pointing at the squirrel that is the hermit kingdom.

killed some 25% of the civilian population of North Korea by carpet bombing urban centers. So please tell us who is the real evil????? We've got the blood of so many Asians on our hands that you should just delete your thread.

He imprisons and assassinates political opponents, rigs elections, terrorizes and kills journalists who have been critical of him, codified bigotry, etc.

Do you propose war?

But I don't propose fighting every evil , of course.

Are you willing to wait and see what Lil Kim does?
Wait until his nukes get better ?
Or wait until he uses them then get mad?

Whats your opinion?

... history has shown that too many Americans are so fearful that they sometimes support idiotic decisions, like the invasion of Iraq or the conflict in Vietnam.

Many Americans are busy-bodies who don't understand that doing nothing (except observing) is sometimes wiser than doing something, so it wouldn't surprise me at all if the USA "steps in it" again after the propaganda is done.

They're a little more willing if the other country is comparatively weak too, at least since WW2.
