North Korea

News from France: Obama hardens US stance on North Korean defiance
Living on the west coast, it's reasonable to fear North Korea having a long-range missile that could potentially reach us. However, I don't believe that North Korea would pursue nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction if they didn't feel threatened by someone. Someone like the US. Sure, the north started the war by invading the south. Who are we to threaten someone over an invasion? Aren't we currently involved in two separate invasions, plus Pakistan? Our foreign policy needs a change, and I don't see it coming from a man who campaigned on change. An aggressive, imperialistic foreign policy that costs trillions annually will be our downfall. If elected to Congress, I will attempt to sway the "leaders" in the House and Senate to pursue a foreign policy that focuses more on friendly trade than policing the world.
