"We went down the wrong path." We were MISLEAD down the wrong path. But, knowing what we know NOW of the chimp Nero, what other result could there have been? If there's any lesson to be learned from the terms of Bush II, it's that we have to somehow test and get a greater understanding of the people we allow to even attempt to become President. His handlers concealed the real Bush from us in 2000 - I was disappointed, but felt no great alarm at his election. If I'd known more about him, perhaps I would have been alarmed. Perhaps candidates need to have a full battery of psychological testing prior to being allowed to BE candidates, presented with the results, and informed that if they remain candidates, the results will be published. It seems the LEAST we could do for the most important job in the world.

Hmm. Those are good ideas: What would I like to see? A world consensus that we will not allow ANY trade, in or out, with NK. A world promise that we will do ANYTHING short of military intervention to have the "Great Leaders" regime overthrown, including finding, funding and supporting any NK group that wants to stage a coup. A promise to start a huge effort to inform the NK people of the truth about the "Great Leader". Whatever we had to do... radio broadcasts, drop propaganda brochures, whatever. That would also send a strong message to Iran. We need more creativity like that at the US leadership level. Too bad we don't have that.
