The horrible Obama’s simply ghastly State Department has resorted to a kind of diplomacy most would call “begging” or “pleading.” This is truly sad. The President is willing to slap our allies in the face with narcissistic iPods and Region One DVDs but he is terrified to death of even visiting a wrist slap upon our gravest enemies.

–side note– The region one DVD situation was unacceptable, but to harp on the iPod thing just shows that you’re acting like a 10 year old or a partisan hack. The Queen requested the video iPod from Obama because she only had an iPod mini. Do some research next time. Besides, all she gives is an f-ing picture, so who cares?
Right now this seems like Japan, South Korea, China and the major powers in the region’s problem. From reading that article I don’t understand what you’re so upset about. If this were a missile test that were intended to determine if a missile could hit the US, shouldn’t the $30.5 billion that we’ve invested in a missile defense shield (since 1997) protect us? Why would the US not take a “wait-n-see” approach if we can use the situation to gain political allies? Why would the US provoke a nation that is a unanimous enemy of the entire free world? Why not allow our allies to handle the situation unless they call on us for help?
