Oh. I guess it’s just us Americans. And maybe the Japanese too (when they get tired of “satellite lanuch attempts” into their airspace).

This is not a rhetorical question and I’m just curious to know how it was meant…. who is “we” in that sentence? “The world,” “we Americans,” or some other grouping?

You mean something like this?

Operation Paul Bunyan 2?

(Yes, I am the author and yes, it is a shameless plug for my own work.)

Or did you deliberately add the “s” in reference to that almost-forgotten old professional baseball team the Boston Braves?

The Braves were “distinguished” as the first pro baseball team to “relocate” due to declining fan attendance (starting a trend that was much denigrated by old-time baseball fans; but, the problem with “old-timers” is that they die off). The Braves left Boston after the 1952 season for Milwaukee (then moved again in the 60’s and are currently located in Atlanta).

Hmm, from what I recall of your views, this may not be the analogy you’re looking for. It brings to mind the thought that maybe the “USA” team should “relocate” out of “ROK stadium” to someplace where they’ll be more welcome.

Milwaukee sounds good to me.

What do these good-for-nothings suggest:

1) Talk with the North Korea? : the U.S. has been talking to NK all along. The recent one being only a few weeks ago when NK representatives promised that NK would return to the six party talk.

2) Give NK more economic aids? : Only if they give up the nukes and open the country for free arms inspection.

3) Promise NK the U.S. would never invade? : What if they misbehave? The U.S. should not promise this.

4) Respect Kim Jongil? : How can you respect the leader who threatens other countries and starves millions.

The U.S. does not have to give in to this dictator. Canada or France might do just that, but not the Home of the Braves. These Boston hippies can go live in Canada or France.
