Defense of this Nation and her citizens is the primary responsibility of the Federal Government and the chief executive, President Obama. Since he is extremely weak in dealing with adversaries outside the US political arena, we are only left with our Congressmen (congresswomen) and Senators. Keep the pressure on them........they have elections right around the corner, Missle defense is in the USA's vested interest.

North Korea simply does not care what the rest of the world thinks about their actions. They are an entity unto only themselves,however much they are dependent on China for food and fuel. One's guess might be that they would allow their people to starve ( except for its powerful military) just to parade their nuclear power ambitions in front of the world.Short of a first pre-emptive strike they already know that there is not a whole lot the West can do to rein in North Korea's nutbar leader and his equally nutbar son as successor.Condemnation by the UN Security Council isn't worth more than the paper it is written on. Technically, the two Korea's are still at war because only a truce quelled the fighting in 1953, not a Peace Treaty. Any defensive acts by South Korea to defend itself will be labelled by NK as an act of war.Short of dumping North Korea into quicksand,it doesn't seem like stern directives will do much good. They are on a track that could ultimately send us all into oblivion. How terribly sad that the world's people can hate each other so much that they are wont to destroy not just themselves but others as well.How one longs for the amazing sense of peace that seems to fill the earth's circumference on Christmas Eve when hosts of people around the globe are collectively singing, Silent Night.

Anyone who does not see the need for an anti-ballistic missile defense shield is living in an opaque bubble.Iran's latest admonition should be enough to convince even the most hardened opponents of the shield.

His objective is to slowly dismantle the greatness of America. His goal is to make United States a "Socialist" nation. I feel that as he continues this path of destruction, many innocent blood will be on his hands, and he will be accountable the Lord God Almighty.

This Pres has shown such weakness to the enemy that I fear whats waiting in the shadows.It shows exactly how naive and inexperienced he really is. Just because you want the world to play nice and like you, does`nt mean they will. The arrogance is shocking, this admin is trying to shove all their beliefs down our throats, since when does the govt control banks , auto companys and decide which cars Americans can drive. Just like with national security they seem to think they can create a different reality than what is. Bush understood that America had to remain strong and on the offense to keep us safe.

American people will pay for it in many ways-economic disaster, lack of national security and internal peace and tranquility. I just hope that Israel will take out the Iranian military capability before nuclear bomb descends on them. Obama will wave white flag and condemn Israel for it.
