Keeping Cool on Korea
Democrats play into Kim Jong Il's hands. Bush should ignore them.
opinionjournal.com

The story of late on North Korea has been that President Bush is keeping his head while everyone else seems to be losing theirs. The same people who don't want the U.S. to disarm Saddam Hussein are demanding that Mr. Bush drop everything and disarm Kim Jong Il--right now, if not faster.

A lot of this, probably most of it, can be dismissed as partisan politics. Having lost the Congressional vote and public debate on Iraq, some Democrats figure that North Korea is their opening to assail Mr. Bush's foreign policy. Thus we have the spectacle of Ted Kennedy and Robert Byrd, who worry not at all about Saddam getting nuclear weapons, now thundering that North Korea is the "more immediate threat." These are doves wearing press-on hawk talons for the TV cameras.
