Some added info I came across recently:
It seems that while North Korea is a big problem, their economy is crumbling, and it's bound to turn into the next Cuba: a tourist attraction, without any attractions. In short, it should collapse under its own weight; it's just a waiting game at this point. Does anyone have any more info on this?
Otherwise, what concerns me the most is that a lot of people voted for Bush, simply because their religious beliefs won't let them vote for someone that's for abortion, and gay civil unions (not "marriage"). The Democrat position is that, as per the constitution, and basic Human Rights, one cannot discriminate against people based on religion and sex (which may or may not include sexual preference). So while God fearing people are against abortion, they don't seem to understand that a country doesn't have to be run as per that one religion: it must protect all of its citizens, regardless of their religious convictions, and the bottom line is that while abortions are legal, you still have a choice, and it's up to your own faith to do the right thing. Otherwise, this country, IMO, is similarly fanatic as some of these countries that we're objecting to...
