The North Koreans are still playing us.

All we've learned in the last 20 years is that a "hardline" policy like Bush's really doesn't work.

N. Korea is a country of 25 million or so but only 5 million of those get all the food and money.

Sanctions aren't going to work because the Chinese and Russians won't back them. It would be like the rest of the world saying they wanted to sanction Mexico and asking the U.S. to go along with it. The U.S. wouldn't want 20 million Mexicans flooding into the U.S., just like the Chinese don't want 10 million N. Koreans flooding into China.

The Clinton Administration was actually making some headway with N. Korea before Bush came in and screwed it up like he did everything else.
