JF, I don't know the answer. Bush doesn't know the answer. And Kerry probably doesn't know the answer. So it's silly to kick it around as a litmus test for a candidate.

Of course, we all "know" that what Bush is doing isn't working. Better for Bush to have done nothing? It seems so if Clinton is being used as a "model" for dealing with Korea.

Anyway, I brought the question up to AS because he's acting like Kerry has the perfect solution to every problem regarding foreign policy. It wasn't meant to stir intelligent debate, because with him, that's not possible.

John,

The reality, as I see it, is that there isn't a good solution for NK. Invade? I don't think you would support that, I know I wouldn't. It's one of the few countries where political and economic isolation from the world community doesn't seem to work, even in the long term. Popular uprising? I doubt it.

If you read this thread over time, you would find 10 opinions opposing (and of course ridiculing) what Bush was saying and doing at the time. Nevermind that the 10 opinions may contradict each other, differ more from each other than from Bush's policy vs. N. Korea... Basically, the rule is, if Bush is doing it, it is wrong.
