Theodore Roosevelt coined the phrase "Speak softly and carry a big stick" His great white fleet demonstration of US Naval might showed the world we were a global power. Ronald Reagan assumed the same defense posture in the 80's and not only faced down the Soviet Bear, but thwarted terrorism by his policy of hitting back. George W. Bush unlike the previous administration also shows a willingness to "lean foward" and take the fight to the enemey.

The following article illustrates the dividends a strong national defense, and the willingness to use it.

Neville Chamberlain, the former Prime Minister of England, as well as the League of Nations learned the hard way of appeasement, and how it encourages the agressor.

Bill Clinton, and the UN can be linked to the same parallels, it takes the direction of strong leaders such as Sir Winston Churchill, Ronald Reagan, and our current President, George W. Bush to assure that the the world is a safer place.

What everyone is failing to realize is that Bush is dealing with the North Korean crisis here. What he is doing is cutting off North Korea's customer base. Using a little capitalism to destroy a failing comunist government. No customers no cash. This is especially troubling for the north since the only thing they have worth exporting is missiles and nuclear weapons. If this keeps up i would not be surprised to start seeing mysterious accidents at sea of their ships delivering to what customers they have left.

Have you guys even seen that the Pakistani's are admitting to suppling the centerfudges to the Libya, and Iran. Howard sorry your loosing you greatest base of supporters 30 Libians, and 60 Iranians so you should take them out of your polling numbers. And by the way Howard and Clark stop raising money over seas.
