Barack Obama vowed to turn to the U.N. Security Council for strong action following North Korea's weekend missile launch. He would have done better by turning to Dr. Phil.
So, as the good doctor likes to say: Get real. Get real about North Korea. Get real about the U.N. Get real, also, about NATO, arms control, Russia, the global financial system, and every other item headlining the president's unreality tour through the capitals of Europe.
Start with North Korea. What was the purpose of the missile test? Surely not (or not mainly) to showcase the efficacy of North Korean technology, which Dear Leader Kim Jong Il must have known was likely to fail. The real test conducted Sunday was of Mr. Kim's international position. And here he scored a direct hit.
But the greatest prize for Mr. Kim was the reaction from President Obama. "Rules must be binding," the president told his audience in Prague on Sunday. "Violations must be punished. Words must mean something." But how are words supposed to mean anything if all the administration proposes to do is offer up yet another resolution -- which is to say, more words?
To nobody's surprise (except, perhaps, Mr. Obama's) the Security Council has so far failed to agree on a resolution. But that's the U.N. for you, as opposed to a serious organization like NATO, at whose 60th anniversary summit in Strasbourg . . . nothing much was accomplished, either.
Obamamania has spead across the world, but the problems are still unsolved.

Obama just made an excellent proposal to revive the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty by accepting the basic premise of the treaty long ignored by the nuclear powers: that the present nuclear powers were supposed to work towards the reduction and eventual elimination of their stockpiles in return for other nations not developing nuclear weapons. It's a long overdue concept from a US President.

Calm down, its not like he was selling his soul to the devil.
I think that bow was because Obama was showing respect (?) for the saudi king, however it makes one wonder why Obama didn't bow to Queen Elizabeth but was very enthusiastic about the saudi king.

After the personal attacks he and others of your ilk dish out to every poster in this forum who doesn't share your extreme right wing views, you gals are hardly in a position to whine about a little turnabout. His comment based on no knowledge at all was that I (personally) had "never been anywhere" and my comment was meant to show that he (and you) really don't know where I have been and what I have done. So perhaps you morons should keep the personal comments out of the Debates forum.

I bet you send e-mails to your like-minded co-workers slandering the wives of your supervisors, etc. You have nothing allowing you to defend what you did, you creep. The least you can do is apologize to him, and everyone else here who has a wife, but it takes a real man to do that, and I don't think you're up to the task. Look at the slanderous and vile verbage below and refresh your immoral mind!
