How much do we pay Bolton to "help us" with these discussions? A monkey could do a better job.

"In the meantime, we should authorize the resettlement of some North Korean refugees in this country, and press our allies to do the same," continued Sen. Lugar...."

Yes we should. This is what sanctuary and immigration is all about. And we should engage the US SK community to sponsor and help these poor folks. Look at the contribution of the vietnamese who emigrated here have made. That is a good thought. mike

At the East Asia Institute, the private group that hosted the speech here, several South Koreans in the audience predicted that the speech would drive North Korea further into its shell.

"We are going to see gridlock with North Korea over a long time, he is saying that Kim Jong Il is not redeemable," Lim Won-Hyuk, a South Korean regional planner, said after listening to Mr. Bolton's speech here. "I think Kim Jong Il will basically wait for regime change in the U.S."


Pretty funny considering todays news...
