How do you thing the freedom loving people of North Korea felt when they saw picture of US Secretary of State toasting their oppressor? Great point. While I'm offended everytime I see that clip (or, for that matter, everytime I see her on TV criticizing the current administration for trying to clean up the mess left by the previous one), it has never once occurred to me how offensive this must have been to the NK people.

At minimum, by not giving any legitimacy to their leader. How do you thing the freedom loving people of North Korea felt when they saw picture of US Secretary of State toasting their oppressor? If we should conduct politics on this basis, we should then condemn rumsfeld, then an emissary of Reagan, for dealing at saddam's court, or dealing him WMDs for that matter. It's a silly notion. Politics is dialog and maturity. Not threats and emotional outbursts designed to win over the electorate but damaging in the long run. Al
