What are the 'good guys' going to do with Korea, Syria and China?



EDITOR:
The morning news the other day brought the revelation that North Korea has an ongoing nuclear weapons program. Based on President Bush's recent declaration concerning the possession of weapons of mass destruction by rogue nations, I assume we will be attacking North Korea as well as Iraq.
The news media reports that the intelligence community believes Iran to be even more supportive of terrorist groups than Iraq. Since the war against terrorism is the stated number one priority of the present administration, we cannot shirk our responsibility to attack Iran and replace that country's leadership.
Let us not forget Syria, China and Cuba. Syria is reportedly supportive of terrorist groups and according to the Bush Doctrine, must be forcibly stopped. China is a cruel dictatorship which will sell weapons to any despotic regime (unlike us who will sell weapons to despotic regimes only if they are friendly). Their human rights violations are legion. Cuba is reportedly to have supported terrorist groups in Africa. As the self-proclaimed & quot;Policeman of the World, & quot; we cannot tolerate the behavior of these governments and must remove them by force if necessary
I'm sure that our senators will & quot;vote their consciences & quot; and support a war against all these despicable governments as they & quot;voted their consciences & quot; in supporting war against Iraq. We could write our congressman asking his support in implementing the Bush Doctrine if he hadn't been thrown out of Congress and been ensconced in a federal penitentiary.
In the meantime, the economy continues to falter. Trillions of dollars have been lost in the stock market. More and more people lose their jobs as work gets shipped overseas. Our government approves tax cuts aimed primarily at the rich, as governmental spending (read defense spending) increases. Congress looks at the president's high popularity and spinelessly gives him virtually everything he requests in his & quot;war on terrorism. & quot;
The world looks at us as a bunch of cowboys. Arab nations look at us as anti-Muslim. We support the United Nations only when its membership agrees with us. And we're supposed to be the & quot;good guys? & quot;
