WE DON'T LIVE IN A UTOPIAN SOCIETY!

North Korea's recent rocket launch was a bold act of defiance against the Obama administration and in violation of United Nations resolutions.  The North Koreans are developing missiles that could reach Alaska and our west coast.  President Obama is relegating the handling of this situation to the United Nations, who will just issue another resolution that President Kim Jong Il will ignore!  The United Nations may have an effective role in global humanitarian efforts, but it has had little success with controlling global security.  The United Nations has not been able to effectively suppress tyrants, genocides, or terrorists.  Leaders like Kim Jong Il will continue to terrorize their citizens and continue trying to develop nuclear weaponry.

President Obama's utopian dream is to rid the world of nuclear weapons.  In the real world, nuclear power is not going away because of its efficiency.  Europe has used it for decades.  As long as there is nuclear power, there will be sources for nuclear weapons.  America's security is based on our ability to defend ourselves against all weapons.  If nuclear weapons are banned, then only the terrorists and tyrants will have them!  The world will always have evil people who don't play by the rules of decent society.  

President Obama continues to weaken our military and reduce our nuclear capabilities.  We had the capability to destroy the North Korean rocket while it was still on the launching pad, but we didn't.  Aggressive action is the only thing that will deter Kim Jong Il from going forward.  When America loses its resources or its desire to defend itself and to stop threats to our country, we are sitting ducks for any crazed tyrant or terrorist group.

Those of us who live on the west coast should be VERY afraid of what's happening in North Korea and Iran in regard to their development of nuclear weapons.  We should demand that our President take more of an active role in defending threats to our country.
