I explained repeatedly. Bush threatened North Korea and does not want to talk GST.. that is patently false. Bush stated that N. Korea was part of an "axis of evil" (which they are).. He did not threaten them until they were revealed to have restarted their nuclear program IN VIOLATION OF THEIR TREATY OBLIGATIONS. And FURTHERMORE... Bush has stated his willingness to pursue negotiations, BUT ONLY in a multi-lateral manner including other nations in the region WHO ARE DIRECTLY THREATENED BY N. KOREA (launching missiles over Japan, for example). Again, N. Korea has a history of REPEATEDLY THREATENING S. Korea and other nations in the region. THEY DESERVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY TALKS. WHO THE F*&K ARE YOU to advocate excluding them and forcing them to accept any negotiated agreement that the US and N. Korea might arrive at? What if the US were to negotiate with N. Korea and agree to no longer be willing to protect S. Korea? Nothing the US negotiated with N. Korea would be binding upon the other nations in the region, unless they are able to participate. And such unilateralism would be sure to alienate these nations... Is that what you advocate? Is that what you want? Hawk
