"With North Korea, you can talk or fight." And with iraq you could talk or fight too. IMO we fought to prevent the fanaticals islamists and the crazy quilt regimes from iraq to saudi arabia from getting control of nukes. Also is a lesson to iran and NK. With NK i dont think fighting is an option and i do think bush said some unfortunate things sort of like calling kim a little monkey which is the way kim took it at least. <g< mike

GST, In 1994 we decided to talk and entered into what can only be described as appeasement. We bought them off - and handed out medals. The trouble is it didn't work - they moved their program and transitioned from plutonium, which we knew about, to uranium enrishment which we did not. Lately we have had talks with just the Chinese and North Koreans - the result of which shocked the Chinese into understanding the extent of the problem. The trouble with war is that in this case - everyone knows the North Korean's are holding Seoul hostage. We also know he is crazy enough to kill. Estimates range from the hundred of thousands to millions of causulties if the North goes south. Everyone is talking about this, but no one has answers. Its hard to negotiate with a madman. John
