    Russia, China empower N. Korea

    North Korea can’t survive without the help of China and Russia. Also, Pakistan and Iran for their help in building nuclear weaponry. That’s the problem Washington won’t admit to. Put the squeeze on China, Russia, and you lose potential allies in an area where they have almost none. Cut off all supplies, and maybe the North Koreans will take back their isolated country to join the rest of us. It’s time to serve notice to China, Russia and Iran. They’re using N. Korea to keep the U.S. off balance in order to maintain their own influence as major players in the world.

    Justices shouldn’t be ‘ordinary’

    Cheney’s actions were criminal

    Dick Cheney: You protest Obama “criminalizing” your administration’s actions. Outing CIA agents, warrantless wire tapping and torture are crimes! You actually want memos released proving torture yielded information — Republicans don’t get it: The ends don’t justify the means. Why talk all over TV anyway — and not before Congress under oath — when as VP you were nowhere?

    — J. Andrew Smith, Bloomfield, N.J.
