Other than having allies, I don't see how North Korea's problems are ours to fix. I think Kin Jung Il is unstable. As Joe Kernan called him today, "Michael Jackson with nuclear weapons." We didn't create the fix that North Korea is in. They did it entirely on their own. What are they going to do? Unload on Japan or South Korea? They have nothing to gain from that. If he's insane then I think it's up to his close ally China to fix. We'll stay involved because we don't want to be a circumstantial cause of South Korea getting hurt, but I don't see how there is any reason US foreign policy is responsible for North Korea's desperate state.

apparently no link with this (yet) but a post/article you might want to scan... Message 18548415 one interesting point in it is about Saudi Arabia...basically run by imported western expertise...what happens if one day all westerners are required to leave the region...can the locals run the oil industry ? i taught one Muslim student from Africa, his father was an oil exec. in one of the Gulf states, he told me stories about how the locals in these small Gulf states could if they wanted just get a job signing papers, and how high school students would have tutors "helping" them through, he told me how lazy the locals were.

WASHINGTON –– President Bush on Friday urged the U.N. Security Council to "make up its mind soon" about confronting Iraq, or the United States will disarm Saddam Hussein with the help of a coalition of allies. "If the Security Council were to allow a dictator to lie and deceive, the Security Council will be weak," Bush said before a ceremony to swear in new Treasury Secretary John Snow. Bush said Secretary of State Colin Powell's presentation earlier this week made very clear that Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein had not disarmed. The president said he is confident that allies will meet their responsibilities after digesting that information. It would be helpful, Bush said, to have a new resolution out of the Security Council. But he left no doubt about his intention to take action without one. "He's treated the demands of the world as a joke," Bush said of Saddam. "If he wanted to disarm he would have disarmed." washingtonpost.com
