These Links Tend To Suggest A Different Story Than :

>>>Indeed, if the Hermit Kingdom actually opens up and joins even the pre-modern world, it will represent one of the great foreign policy successes of the Bush administration.<<<

Such as:

>>"The United States should squarely see the trend of the times and drop its hostile policy toward the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) at an early date," the official KCNA news agency quoted the communist newspaper Rodong Sinmun as saying on Wednesday.

"This step will be hailed at home and abroad and open a new phase in the improvement of the bilateral relations," KCNA quoted the daily as saying. <<<

I’ve been of the opinion that GWB admin. has been less than warm to North – South relations in Korea and were actually a stumbling block towards a trend that started last spring.But I guess someone will figure a way to take credit one way or the other if it works out. Heh heh……

Yes, and should provide a persuasive answer to the Molly Ivins lets-be-nice-so-foreigners-will-like-us school of foreign policy, at least to those who are persuadable.
