| Congratulations to the Bush administration |
Yes, you read that headline correctly. I think they finally got one right. The treaty negotiated with North Korea is a winner. Economic aid for a truly impoverished country in return for shutting down their nuclear weapons program. Next step is to improve the humanitarian crisis in that country, and I hope the administration will pursue that in its bilateral talks.
I don't think (as John Bolton does) that this precedent is bad at all. In fact, this is a clear sign to Iran... this is what the carrot looks like, and you've seen the stick up-close.
I hope the administration gives them every possible chance to choose the carrot. |

I remain a skeptic until I see the North actually opening up and following through.
I wonder why no one ever mentions that the Korean War has never officially ended; why aren't they negotiating that?

Your assume that North Korea will follow through on their obligations. They will not because there is nothing that we can feasibly do about it.
