An American Fairy Tale, or Horrible nightmare

Alright.   I know that's not nice but we're dealing with two Megalomaniacs about to get into an Olympic dueling match.  Actually they've already started.  The North Korean whose name is not on the tip of my tongue and the American (cough cough) President whose name is but I choose not to say it. The North Koreans are frightened to death by a heartless dictator who has killed his close relatives.  We Americans and probably the rest of the Western World, are frightened because our 'leader' may get us all killed.  I can understand why the North (and South) Koreans are petrified, but us?  What is our excuse?  I think we once stood as a proud nation, but not anymore.  We are ridiculed if silently by our allies.  We have shamed ourselves beyond words and continue to do so.  Is there no one among us who anymore has any courage?  Has our own Congress failed us?  Our own once precious Republic?................................marge
