As I looked at the headlines tonight, I noticed that we have moved war ships off the coast of North Korea.  China has mobilized its troops along the border.  We know that North Korea does not have the ability to strike the mainland with their current missiles.  However, they would have no trouble hitting a destroyer next to them.  That would be an act of war and precipitate the very crisis that our President is seeking.  What would happen in the middle east at that point?  Would they see it as an "opening" and "opportunity" for them to blitz Israel while we are busy elsewhere?  I think we just got a whole lot closer this evening.
