Furthermore, please remind me again why we are going to invade Iraq which may have the bomb soon but "encourage the resumption of engagement" with North Korea which has a bomb and is yelling "Up yours". So Saddam Hussein does not get the chance to play the same game. One nuclear-armed fruitcake at a time is quite enough, don't you think? Consistency in Foreign Policy is desirable. Okay, either Bush is making a BIG mistake by not adopting South Korea's "sunshine" policy, or else he showing that horrible thing, "inconsistency", by only pressuring North Korea and not invading this minute. Make up your mind, would you? The situations are different -- just to set out the most obvious difference, we do not have a good military option in the case of North Korea. If we even bomb their nuclear plant, they are liable to level Seoul. We do have a good military option in Iraq, but we won't anymore if they get nukes. Is that plain enough for you? Sheesh. There are adult arguments that can be made against Bush's foreign policy. But "you're being inconsistent!" and "it's all about oooooiiiiiil!" are not among them.
