"Sometimes appeasement is the only available policy. While advocating concessions, however, one mustn't pretend that nothing is being given away. The time for appeasement may indeed have arrived, but it is too dangerous and important a policy to be carried out amid fantasies." This is the real point Bill. We are in no position to go to war in korea right now. Unlike Iraq, where the ruler and govt has easy access to money thru oil, the North Koreans can be bribed. View it as a kidnapping. The kid at stake here is the nuke program and the selling of delivery systems and perhaps other wmds to rogue states. Lets turn those missile factories into car factories. Pay them off this way--if it works only as well as 1994 agreement at least it will slow them down substantially and eventually we will be in better shape to do the military thing if need be. You are the thread superhawk Bill. Can you buy into this as an alternative policy for now? Appeasement has become a curse word because of WW2. There is inheritantly wrong with it as a tactic in certain situations imo. Mike
