Sorry, but many of the issues raised above are poppycock.
#1: N Korea is not a serious threat. WHAT??? Now that they have a 10 KT weapon, and have proven the absolute willingness to sell same to Syria, Iran, etc..(and verified via NK media), how can you not see a clear and present danger? What will it take to see one?? Yes it WAS a 'tragic mistake'..allowing action via the UNITED NATIONS!
#2: Fortress America: Does not and CANNOT exist in todays world..period. The oceans can no longer shield us from the loons and Kim Jong Il's of the world.
#3:History is starting to reveal that we chose to take the fight to the Germans and "save" Europe and unfortunately our troops in the Pacific paid a very heavy price
Uhh, 'starting to reveal'? it was known Roosevelt doctrine in the 40's that Europe was first. And yes, we most certainly did SAVE Europe, so no quotes needed. And the troops in the pacific paid a heavy price because it's much easier to defend an island than a continent, and much harder to supply. Overall, the Pacific theater was handled brilliantly by Chester Nimitz.
#4: I think the poster is great. Only failure to see is that people like Bill Clinton decided to send in troops...unarmed. want to be seen as a war president, but sure don't want to hurt anybody.
