It's the Norks who are making nukes, they are the ones who have broken all agreements and commitments, why is the US always on the defensive? (This goes for many other things the US has done. Instead of laying back and apologizing, Bush should go on the offensive, such as with this latest BS about firing lawyers. No more apologies.) Maybe it's time to just throw in the towel on this whole charade with the Norks (I'm willing to wait a short while until the latest phony deal falls apart soon enough). Ignore the Norks. Tighten the financial screws, watch for shipments of nukes, fake dollars and drugs and keep squeezing until the pipsqueak squeals for a real deal. Will he ever do so? Who knows, but at least its better than paying him off now and getting nothing of substance out of the deal. Any deal we cut with KJI now will accomplish little more than prolong his regime of scumbags and many more dead North Koreans from starvation, execution, etc. It just amazes me how blame always seems to fall on the US for this whole mess.

A promise to do something positive is frequenly hailed as the greatest thing in the world. It is a crucial sign of intent and indicates a willingness to chage. But, buying hardware to set up a uranium enrichment program is that big a deal until they buy more and set up a factory. I wonder if we'll have to wait until they start spinning the tubes? Or will we need video of that? And why won't the US unfreeze that $20 something million? It is going to hold up peace in our time over such a small amount of money? The media is depressing....
