    You make one fatal assumption, however. You believe that the North Koreans would believe that we would actually attack them. There's no way we would, right now. Maybe 10 years ago they would have believed us capable, when we weren't involved in Iraq...

Great site!

I'm holding a fundraiser now through Tues., Sept. 30, to help with Obama's final month of campaigning.

SHOPPING FOR OBAMA!

Buy any beautiful handmade item (jewelry, purses, note cards) on www.allthingsbarbara.etsy.com, and I will send 40% to the Obama Campaign. You also have the option to designate the Dem Party or Habitat for Humanity if you prefer.

When you place your order you'll see an opportunity to jot me a note letting me know your preference (Obama, Dems, or Habitat).

(Normally I send 10% of my sales to the Sierra Club, but I'm suspending this rule in favor of the current fundraiser.)

Thank you, and happy shopping!

Great slant and fresh uptake on current events. Good to get a clear view of an American's perspective on world events.
