Ask Dr. Paul ...
TBH Politoons is running some Free Presidential Advice toons. It got me thinking about an Ask Dr. Paul series based loosely on Dr. Laura. It might look something like this ...
Caller: "George" is just so aggressive, and always reeks of mendacity. He has all these WMDs, and keeps lying about other people's WMDs. I just don't know where to turn.
Dr. Paul: Tony, Tony, Tony! You're riding bitch on the motorcycle of life. You must sublimate your needs and desires to those of the man in your life. Don't make me drag out Leviticus on your ass.

Dr. Paul explains logic
MR. RUSSERT: But you take something like North Korea -- this is what their government said -- North Korea signaled it is learning a lesson from the war in Iraq, though not the one the Bush administration had wanted. The government's official party newspaper said Iraq's experience proves that North Korea must not submit to international nuclear inspections or agree to disarm. North Korea would have already met the same miserable fate of Iraq had it compromised and accepted the demand raised by the imperialists and its followers for nuclear inspection and disarmament. The irony that we went in to disarm Saddam Hussein and now the North Koreans are saying, "We are going to keep our nuclear bombs -- because you'll invade us if we don't."
MR. WOLFOWITZ: Well, they've obviously stood logic on its head once again. I mean, it's clear that if Saddam Hussein had accepted the conditions -- had lived up to the conditions he accepted 12 years ago -- we wouldn't be at war now. He would still -- who knows who would be in charge -- but certainly there would not be a war in Iraq, and his country and his people could have benefited from the enormous support and revenues that were available. That's the choice the North Koreans face. They can either continue taking their country further and further down this economic disaster that they have created, or the can become respectable members of the international community, live up to their obligations to give up nuclear weapons. Then they could look forward actually to a great deal of international help to rebuild and build a better country. That's not what that leadership so far seems to be focused on. But that's what they need to do.

One more question: I'm having trouble with the "logic on its head" part of that response. So are you saying we'll invade and take out the leadership if they build a bomb? Have you talked this over with Japan and S. Korea?
