Ted, <Its not as simplistic as that.......Clinton was ready to get heavy handed with NK. However, at the last minute, Carter asked Clinton to let him try to negotiate a treaty with NK.> Actually, I had known all that, but I wanted to be brief. ;-) Like I said before, I didn't think the 1994 treaty was a good idea in the first place. Clinton probably didn't think so, either, which may be why America was deadbeat on its obligations. (Or more likely it could be because of other complications, like the North Korean spy sub that ran aground on South Korean shores back in 1996.) <I have heard that but I don't know the details. Why did Clinton think he was handing Bush Jr. a victory?> Most likely because Clinton wanted to take some credit for Kim Dae Jung's "sunshine policy." After all, when it comes to Clinton's foreign policy, image is everything. Tenchusatsu
