Jim,

I accepted your gracious apology and praised you for it. If you’ve had second thoughts and now wish to retract, I won’t object. Please review the matter and make your decision. But, don’t sulk, it’s unbecoming.

I don’t find much of anything especially conservative about your comments. In fact they seem to march in lockstep with most of the Moonbat nonsense I encounter. If you want to claim conservative roots, you may certainly do so, but in response I must say you keep strange company indeed.

So, if you do decide to continue to address me in your comments, may I request you try to make your points with a bit more clarity, I have every confidence you can do better than the lame gibberish above.

Actually, North Korea wouldn’t be the problem it is today if Madeline Albright and Co. (this includes former President Clinton) had done their jobs. Alas, they didn’t and now we have this mess on our hands. Kind of reminds me of how President Clinton and Co. and the UN allowed Saddam’s violation of the cease fire agreements to go uncontested. Saddam thumbed his nose at the US and at the member nations of the UN while terrorizing his citizens and starving them to death as he siphoned money through the oil for food program to build his luxurious palaces and to build a weapons arsenal. You know what they say – you reap what you sow and we are paying dearly for eight years of hiding our collective heads in the sand during the Clinton years.

Jim,

I don’t agree that the Iraq war goaded dictators into doing anything. I think, rather that the recent political disarray emboldened some of them, if anything.

But all choices here are crappy, I think.

Parting message-

Giaus, I had sworn off your blog after BlackJack asked me to apologize for criticising his goals for one of the largest big goverment foreign aid programs to come about in my lifetime (the Iraq occupation). Fair enough, I may have been harsh, and I apologized (and haven’t been back since). Mind you his first response to one of my posts here was to call me a left winger and to question my conservative root…very nice. If I was ever coming back, BlackJack could explain how a foreign aid big government program is conservative. How spending a million dollars a minute on foreigners, how helping Sudanese warlords (!) is conservative. But I digress.

I came back because I just had to be sure your posts about North Korea wouldn’t mention the total failure by our administration to keep these launches from happening. To make sure you didn’t mention that our unilateral, non-UN backed invasion of Iraq wasn’t viewed as a provocation to the rest of the world’s dictatators to rush to aquire and develop nuclear weapons. That you might try to spin that the long range missile’s failure as some secret intervention on our part. Though I haven’t checked, I’m sure you’ve poo-pooed North Korea in the past and said it’s “China’s problem.” Welcome to crappy, non-conservative foreign policy decisions Giaus.

Good luck to you; I hope your son comes back home soon and safely.

Jim
