<<And he's betting that the democratic economies of the west, being generally non-confrontational, will bow to his threats. And history has shown that when you appease tyrants and bullies, they only come back later on with even bigger demands.>> He's had a lot of years being supported by the Clinton agenda. Feed his people, give them energy, make then happy. Bush in shutting this off makes it now a different world. They have to change and adapt to the modern world and learn to get along.

The current situation is far different from the situation of the last 50 years. The difference is (1) North K. has nuclear weapons and missiles to deliver them and, (2) We put North Korea on a list of countries that we are setting up to invade one--by-one -- the "axis of evil". This was an idiotic move made to jazz up a speech for the war-drum thumpers like yourself. Your lack of understanding of this crisis makes me wonder why you post on the subject. We are, as Perry says, drifting into war with North Korea. Bush has shown himself incapable of dealing with the crisis. War could come in an instant -- the North is ready to go to war 24/7 and is unstable. All it takes is a single miscalculation and a process of immediate escalation. North Korea is our number one security issue in every sense.
