Maybe trouble, yes - LOL.
I think they did the right thing under Clinton in 94.
Offer the carrot first. I saw Def. Sec. Perry over
the weekend on TV. He said there was a "red line"
then - where we said we would not allow N. Korea
to reprocess the plutonium.

This red line was not renewed clearly under Bush, and they
have crossed that threshold now. Not sure what the answer is - but I don't think any President, Democrat or Republican, can now allow them to start making 5-10 bombs a year. They have already tested an intermediate range missile
over Japan.

Clinton did not just take North Korea at their word. Nuclear monitors were installed and inspectors were there on a permanant basis. It's a big mistake to think that Junior is only doing what Clinton did, Junior is doing much much less, so the Koreans are doing more.

The Clinton installed monitoring stations have picked up the signature of Krypton85 in North Korea, that is a clear indication of chemical separation of plutonium from spent fuel rods.
