Now I've seen it all. LOL. We actually have people here who can't think for themselves and are actually willing to take a dictator's propaganda at face value while questioning every move that their own government makes.

I wonder which is the greater absurdity here? The dumb conclusion or the refusal to even think for one's self?

True, North Korea is smart enough to take some of its cues from Iraq. After all, North Korea's main source of income is the sale of weapons and Saddam Hussein's Iraq was one of North Korea's prospective customers.

In fact as soon as North Korea signed the 1994 Clinton framework, they started cheating and retreating on the issue of inspections just like Iraq. In North Korea's case they correctly figured out that the Clinton bleeding hearts were always going to fall over themselves to pacify them since all they had to do was show pictures of the retards and mongoloids that North Korean families are producing in greater numbers or pictures of emaciated North Koreans with dead eyes hunting down live rats for food.

Given that pattern of behavior what makes you think that they even discontinued their nuclear and missile programs or their biological and chemical weapons program in 1994?

Why should they give up those programs when the Clinton bleeding hearts didn't even have the backbone to press for the coercive inspections of an deeply flawed bilateral agreement?

The fact of the matter is that Clinton is responsible for creating a perverse and chilling incentive for the North Koreans to expect that the more lethal their arsenal, the greater the concessions they can get.

Unfortunately for the North Koreans, that thinly disguised game of blackmail is over.

What I think the North Koreans can expect from now on is that we are going to methodically reduce the market for their weapons starting in the Middle East while simultaneously providing the North Korean people with enough humanitarian aid to subsist until their leaders accept the most rational resolution: an emotional reunification with a prosperous South Korea brimming with manufacturing overcapacity that could be better used to rebuild North Korea instead of being unleashed on the global market.

More than 1M North Koreans starved to death from 1994 to 2002. Regretably, more North Koreans will probably die in the future especially if the North Koreans continue to divert foreign aid to feed its military-industrial complex.

Notice the sharp contrast in approach? The Clinton bleeding hearts succumbed easily to a type of nuclear blackmail that never ends while this Bush administration is willing to take the bold even audacious move that by persuading, intimidating or killing the customers of the North Korean military-industrial complex they can increase the social tensions inside the hermit kingdom to the point they are forced to make the only rational choice: reunification.

9/11 proved that we can take a devastating hit and strike back with even more devastation. Can North Korea?
