I am replying to you Ed because you posted the article, but the post is to the whole FADG associates. One possible diplomatic route is through the United Nations; the International Atomic Energy Agency has scheduled a Jan. 6 meeting where the board of governors could refer the matter to the U.N. Security Council. Hey does this mean I should trash my "The U.N. is Irrelevant" memo. Is there a new memo coming? Can we use the UN in some of our Strategic models now? Powell, however, said North Korea had restarted its nuclear weapons program during the Clinton administration, which the United States learned about last October.* Why does this administration repeatedly need to blame Clinton for any little thing that doesn't go their way? (This is why everybody perceives a blame game. When the Administration blames everything on Clinton it forces logical thinkers into rebutting the position regardles of their political affiliation.) As good Foreign Policy Experts, they should have made made up their own minds on North Koreas. "Administration Sources" have said this President had ordered a FULL REVIEW of North Korea. Maybe they should have done this before they trashed them and sabotaged talks. Fine, this is what happened. Now put it into context with the other Foreign Relations efforts and lets make them look honest, logical, and proactive. Rascal@ theyonlyplan6daysinadvance.com *this is where the facts are fuzzy and not worth the time to research. It really doesn't matter. The conflict we have been addressing is the Foreign Policy Actions taken with regard to SOuth Korea starting in Jan 2001.

"We ought to be confident enough of our strength and we are, after all, the strongest nation in the world to go right back to direct negotiations with them," said Senate Armed Services Committee member Joseph Lieberman, D-Conn., on CBS' "Face the Nation." "And I'd put the military option on the table as part of those negotiations." I hope you all remember this when Lieberman decides to run for president... This is certainly not how to achieve results (because we tried that before and look where we are).. I think Powell and Bush are taking the correct approach on this... No direct face to face talks, but leaving the door open for second party negotiations through other nations. Hawk
