... its bungling of the North Korea situation ... This guy says it wasn't bungling, but rather a deliberate strategy to destabilize Asia: <<< The latest U.S. fomented North Korean "crisis" is another destabilizing factor in Asia and nothing less than a huge US blackmail against the South Koreans who are increasingly turning toward China for trade, investments and their painstaking road toward reunification with their northern siblings -- a reunification thwarted by the U.S. in 1947 when it supported strong man (of course anti-communist) Syngman Rhee and, after the Forgotten War, the cohorts of dictators that followed him. Little noted by the pundits are the real motives behind the latest North Korea "crisis;" that is, the effort by the US Government to derail the Sunshine Policy implemented by President Roh Moo Hyun's predecessor, to throw a wedge between China and South Korea, and to keep in check China's growing influence in the region. This fabricated crisis reflects the rift that has slowly emerged between the U.S. and South Korea in the past decade, but the true "enemy" remains China even though the criticisms and the bellicose verbal attacks of the current US Administration have been muted since 9/11. >>> swans.com Who knows?
