On March 26 sank the South Korean gunboat, Cheonan in the Yellow Sea sank off the west coast of the Korean Peninsula.  An international team of investigators conclude a North Korean submarine fired the torpedo which makes this incident one of South Korea's worst military disaster since the Korean War, 1950-53.

The sinking of the Cheonan is an act of war which the North Korean government denies, and then goes so far as to state that any act of retaliation on the part of South Korea is an act of war.  I posted on thispreviously, and I will go so far as to . . . ruminate over and state that anything South Korea does will be seen as a provocation—even the cutting of trade.

A starving, totalitarian nation with stability issues and an inferiority complex can only grow more restive as another life line is cut, but I will go back to my original assertion that the North Korean government is only seek an excuse.  I want to be wrong, but totalitarian governments, who’ve toyed with nuclear weapons, and can only oppress and repress, has to its south, the beautiful, prosperous sister, which is a target of a hateful jealousy.  

Now, the real questions are, Does China have any influence in this matter?  Does China want a war next door?  Does China know this won’t get out of hand? 

Will anyone ask publically?  All we know is the President of United States is telling U.S. forces along the DMZ and those at sea to beprepared. 

All I can say is, “they have been, for fifty-seven years.  The troops are always ready, question is, “Is the president?”

Arizona goes International

The president and the president of Mexico are unhappy with the little ‘ol state of Arizona.  The irony here is that Arizona is a state run better than most of the nations in the world.  It has an international border, and therefore, international problems it is trying to deal with when the Federal Government, the Democrats and republican, and the president are in absent.   The Mexican president doesn’t have an answer either, just ire.

Mexico has problems, and I am not be derisive.  That nation south of the border is on the edge of disaster and, I for one, don’t want to see it go down the road of total dissolution, and that can happen.  Along with its ethic problems, the indigenous population is poor and unhappy; the drug traffickers are organized and dangerous.  We know this for a fact.  Marxist elements in Mexico would have no problem with massive social disorder. 

If President Felipe Calderon wants help he’d be better off going to the Governor of Arizona, she is proactive, while President Obama is an indecisive rabble rouse—argue with me if you wish—and will off no help, because, in the U.S., there is a demarcation between the states and the federal government.   If the President of the United States does not understand that, maybe President Calderon should and say, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer, “Let’s talk.”  That’s simply common sense. 

Obama ramps up criticism of Ariz. immigration law

North Korea says War

Is it possible, maybe, that North Korea wants a war, a limited one, but one in which it can say, “You started it!”  One of the advantages of being a totalitarian country is lying.  Everyone knows you’re lying, but no one say, “You’re lying,’ because it doesn’t mean anything.  The totalitarian just says, “You’re lying,” then the oppressor gets what he wants anyway.  Also, there are a number of dictatorships and authoritarian cesspools around the world, which would lie in NK defense.

So, North Korea may want a war, fight the war, and then when the last shot is fired and the last call for a human peace is made by North Korea, which the UN and every other panderer with second, and third, North Korea will then demand that South Korea cough up the goodies like land, cash, coastal rights, even occupation. 

Not possible?    Is it impossible?

The president was born.  That’s normal.  All people are unless you want to be medically technically by saying, “Caesarian section isn’t?”  Fine, but Caesarian section isn’t relevant to this particular issue.

Now, the birth certificate issue has become an issue for the Left and Right.  The Left because they don’t want to hear about it anymore, and they try and do that by saying those who are interested in just a little piece of paper are just ridiculous, petty, or even crazy.   We’ll stick with the word ‘crazy.’   These ‘Birthers’ are ‘crazy.’  Okay, fine, but the Left calling people names about annoying or uncomfortable subjects is normal.  It is what they do:  Call names.

On the Right, there are those who want the birth certificate subject to go away, because they don’t like being lumped in with the group, the Birthers, and being called crazy.   Here I want to take a stab at this.

Two points:  One, the whole birth certificate discuss, to an extent is an exercise in rhetoric.   Two, the certificate won’t appear.  Who really expects it to? 

Those wanting to see a BC are being called crazy and are even seen as being nuts.  Now, in ten, twenty, thirty, forties years, this issue will still be alive in the minds of some somewhere in America, in the world, and do we wants a bunch of historians and future Americans saying, “Why didn’t someone ask?”   These would be the same people who will wonder how certain politicians were elected, and how the ‘MSM got away with it.’   At some point, there must be absolution for those living now, future Americans must know that someone tried, and that is important and necessary.

Again, the issue will go unresolved, but if someone didn’t ask the question, well then, when would the time come when other questions become ‘inconvenient’ to ask.  To an extent it is a moral and ethical issue.  What is wrong with asking, because you may be called crazy?   Every time a progressive questions or name calls anyone that should make us wonder—and then question.  We have progressives and elected-Democrats lying, and voting for things they haven’t read.  What do we do when questioning that is called ‘being crazy?’  Oh, that’s extreme?  It wouldn’t happen?

‘Crazy’ people have resolved important issues by, at the very least, asking a question. 

Is being called ‘crazy’ the most horrible thing in the world now?    Asking questions is a risky business.  Let us not forget, the Soviets locked dissidents up because they were ‘crazy.’
