But today's tough talk "could provide just another justification for North Korea to drag its feet on these supposed talks in September," said Victor D. Cha, a Georgetown University Korea expert, who is visiting here. On the Bush Administration side, Mr. Cha added, today's stark descriptions of North Korea "build the prerequisite components for the argument that the only place you can go is regime change."

At the East Asia Institute, the private group that hosted the speech here, several South Koreans in the audience predicted that the speech would drive North Korea further into its shell.

"We are going to see gridlock with North Korea over a long time, he is saying that Kim Jong Il is not redeemable," Lim Won-Hyuk, a South Korean regional planner, said after listening to Mr. Bolton's speech here. "I think Kim Jong Il will basically wait for regime change in the U.S."


Pretty funny considering todays news...
