Oh, yeah.  North Korea has the bomb and we are pretty annoyed about that.  Wow.  How dare they?

Why don't we ask ourselves how it is that we can have the bomb but North Korea cannot?  Why is is that people who nod seriously and solemnly when the NRA talks about how we all need guns to protect ourselves become outraged when other nations employ the same logic to arm themselves? 

They have to be just laughing at us.  How stupid we look.

We can have the bomb and our friends in the nuclear club can have the bomb but no one else can. 

The only way to make the argument against proliferation with any kind of integrity is to say that we are willing to give ours up and propose a way to enforce that world wide.  As long as we have the bomb then we not only have no moral leg to stand on in demanding that others not have it, we also have no hope of stopping  the eventual spread of nukes to the people who most fear having them.

I gotta go.

ok. now for the accountability.

 

President Bush got some tort reform.  If we don't see lower prices as the result then we hold him accountable.  Right?

 

Of course, we already need to hold him accountable because everyone finally has to admit that the prescription drug benefit bill that he championed last time around is turning out to cost far more than he said it would.

 

Where is the accountability?

 

Speaking of accountability...when asked how he should be held accountable for the lies and deceit used to get us into the Iraq war he said, in effect, that there was an election and that was the accountability mechanism.  Funny, that didn't seem to work for President Clinton.

 

Oh, yeah. A single standard.  Like that could happen.

 

I gotta go.
