TOKYO, April 2 NYTimes.com -- As the United States races to erect a ballistic missile defense system by the end of the year, it is quietly enlisting Japan and other allies in Asia to take part in the network, which could reshape the balance of power in the region.
Containment, Containment, Containment. Don't you conservatives know that containment doesn't work? That's what you said about Saddam, why not Kim? But then again neither does that missile shield you want to deploy. More snake oil.
Oh, that's right, N.Koreaa has REAL WMD's, really, they do -- no kidding. I'm not foolin' this time. Honest!
Shhh, don't tell Tiawan that the missile shield technology they're buying is junk, er, I mean, it isn't quite ready for deployment. This is how we get even for all those crappy toys we got as kids for Christmas that fell apart by New Years.
