What am I "speculating" about? The FACTS are there for everybody to see. N. Korea had maybe 2 nukes when Bush came in and probably 8 nukes when he left. ALSO, the N. Korean economy had opened up a bit and was actually allowing "private enterprise". You can't make a dent in a CLOSED regime like N. Korea unless you let the people there see some alternatives. They were starting to see some of those alternatives before Bush came in and just clumsily shut down any progress that had been made. When Reagan was in office he didn't just REFUSE to talk to Gorbachev. He "talked" to the guy and found some common ground. If he had treated the Russians the way that Bush treated EVERYBODY, the Berlin Wall would STILL be there.
