Steve, > Which begs the question, if a democrat is elected democrat and sits down with Iran with no preconditions, are we to sleep better knowing the Iranians would not be in an "all out program" to build and test their nuke? Since the Carter deal was such a good idea, we should promise Ahmedinijad to build two light water reactors. Then we should drag our feet until the crazy dude figures out that we have no intention of meeting our end of the deal. That should buy us enough time to come up with a better plan. ABB ...

No, they didn't work extra shifts...they just pulled the rods from an existing reactor and used it to make weapons grade material. If I were them I would have done the SAME. Bush's "only" attempt at diplomacy was continual THREATS and PUBLIC verbal ATTACKS. He gave them a REASON to want to stock up on nukes. I HATE N. Korea as much as anybody and I'm very familiar with the way they've starved MOST of their people and locked up a lot of the rest in the most hideous concentration camps that have ever existed. N. Korea is like a Mad Dog. You either KILL a Mad Dog or you try to contain it. What Bush did was "poke" and "threaten" the Mad Dog and we've seen how brilliantly that's worked out. All this 6 party "crap" has just allowed N. Korea to go about their business while stalling on doing anything of substance. The only way to judge an Administration is to look objectively on its progress on individual issues. On N. Korea, I think any objective analyst would have to say that N. Korea is much more dangerous now than it was in 2000. That looks like a FAILURE to me.
