And the U.S. lifted sanctions against North Korea, officially taking it off the list of State Sponsors of Terrorism, making it no longer a third of the “Axis of Evil” .
Not bad. Two of the three in the “Axis of Evil”, Iraq and North Korea, are no on the list with only Iran remaining. Libya also disbanded its WMD program in 2003 after the invasion of Iraq. Thanks, President Bush!
Question for Bush haters: Is it more important to have a President who helps destroy nukes or who can say “nuclear” clearly?
You decide.

So, Honey, your quarters are far away from this reactor, right? Right Amy? Just asking. This is a very good thing, but I'm guessing that smoke is going to blow for a long way. Hopefully, no one lives nearby.
We are far south of the reactor. Although we are going to take a tour to the DMZ (de-militarized zone). We are being issued chemical masks, even the kids, just in case, but apparently the DOD thinks its safe enough to try to normalize relations and allow 3 year tours with families in tow.
We're much further south.
Why are the "mainstream media" not covering this story more and why are they not giving props to our Presedent? The media are too busy on the campaign trail for their candidate Obama.
