The North Korean test
Boston.com
Excerpt:
Acting on the unrealistic assumption that he need not and should not stoop to bargaining with “evil” regimes such as those in Pyongyang and Tehran, Bush has allowed hard-liners in his administration repeatedly to prevent or sabotage genuine negotiations with the North. For their part, North Korean representatives have made it plain that they will respond to rebuffs from hard-liners — be they in Tokyo or Washington — with missile launches, or with the extraction of plutonium from nuclear fuel rods, or now with an underground nuclear explosion.
H.L.s Take
He won’t even talk to N. Korea, but we will be in Iraq until 2010. I wonder why that is. Could it have something to do with all the oil they are pumping out of those unmetered wells in Iraq???
