North Korea, Bush’s Military option?
In his Rose Garden News Conference Bush laid out what he thought were his options.
One; bilateral talks with North Korea by the Bush administration which Bush says will not work because Kim Jong-Il has told “Lies” before.
Two; get other nations in the area that are in harms way like South Korea, Japan, Russia and especially China to pressure North Korea to give up their Nuclear Arms.
Three; The Military Option bomb and invade North Korea.
Now Bush being a wise man says he chooses option two, but he says option three is still on the table. The reporters let him get away with this and some seem to want him the bomb North Korea.
Well I am just a common old working man, but it seems to me that we couldn’t handle North Korea in the 1950’s when that was the only war we were fighting and we had the drift. Now with an Army of only people we can fool into joining and fighting two and a half wars it seems to me that Bush has no military option and in fact has only the option he so wisely chose.

Anne Greenwood Hunter dies at home in Scotland
BIOGRAPHY OF ANNE HUNTER
Anne was born in Alva in 1944, daughter of Mary Greenwood sister of Jeanette.
Post war Scotland had little to offer but, Anne spent a lot of her childhood holidays with her Uncle Peter and Aunt Jes, along with her cousin Sheena. On leaving school
Anne worked in the Mills at Alva along with most of her friends.
In the year of 1960 love was found under the Ochil Hills, when a skinny young man moved in over the road from Anne. She soon became the wife of Donald Stuart McLean Hunter. Their love grew to the sounds of Cilla Black and Cliff Richards.
Anne and Stuart lived in Alva for the next 10 years where they had their first two children, Dorothy and Vivien
They left in the year of 1970 with another daughter in their arms, Valerie, and moved to Grangemouth as Stuart had a new job in the BP.
Anne looked after her three daughters and then along came her long awaited and adored son Stuart.
For Anne and Stuart their family was complete and they were over the moon with their four children, well for most of the time!!
Over the next years Anne worked as a cleaner and then moved to a small company making blinds, she made a few good friends during these years.
They stayed in Moray Place and they have indeed been living there for the last 36 years.
She made more good friends there, the Quinny’s and the Shaw’s to name but a few. The neighbours all had children and there were always groups of kids coming and going into all the neighbouring houses.
Every Sunday without fail Anne would attend Church with these neighbours and in the early years the children were ‘dragged along’ also, she was always trying to save their souls. She was also a Sunday School teacher for a number of years at the Dundas Church.
Over the next years Dorothy, Vivien, Valerie and Stuart grew up, married and of course along came the grandchildren, Scott, Steven, Kathyrn, Alasdair, Emma and finally little Millie.
Anne loved and adored all her grandchildren from the oldest to the youngest, her years were spend looking after them whilst their parents worked, helping them with their homework, playing games with them and of course wiping away their tears when they were ill or had hurt themselves.
When she got time off from the grand children, Anne loved her TV, loved to watch morning television seeing what other people were up to in their lives. And of course when the summer came Big Brother took up all of her time, when visitors came during this time they knew they would have a fight to get any other conversation from Anne other than what had been happening on Big Brother.
Anne never stopped worrying about all her children and grand children over the years, always making sure they were okay, and, of course, was always ‘praying for their souls’ every Sunday at Church. She was a very caring person and was there whenever she was needed.
Anne and Stuart had an amazing marriage and their love was solid for the full 45 years they had together.
This love was a great foundation for their family, who never strayed very far from the nest, and Stuart and the children have drawn great strength from it in the last week since Anne has passed away.
Anne was taken suddenly from the family and there is a now a huge hole in all of their lives. This will never be filled but it will slowly shrink with the love of family and friends.
One breath here, the next you were gone,
A saving grace is your pain was not long,
We hoped to have you for a good while yet,
The things we never said fill us with regret.
You taught us to love with perseverance,
Let us live our lives without interference,
We’re better people for having known you,
We have each other to pull us through.
You’ve earned your rest and a place above,
All things must die but never love,
We’ll only think of the happy times together,
Knowing you’ll be part of us forever.
