Unless we give Kim Jong-il another massive cash injection, you are right. It is not far away.

If Dean or another lib Dem is elected President, with Clintonite type NK policies, Kim Jong il will precisely be granted a new lease on life. Pyongyang and Seoul both know this.

damn, i mean i'm pretty much as far to the right as u can b on the political spectrum (w/o canvassing into religious evangelism = moral superiority )..... but why do people blame Clinton for NK policies?

If anyone should take the blame it should be Bush... I mean yeah Clinton was really a coward, delaying issues on major issues the world over, but the more and more i look at rumsfield and how he's responding to world events, he looks childish, old, outdated, and oh-so rigid... We need a new generation of conservatives that dont have a mental block on their head, which was construed during the cold war....

regarding N.K., any and i mean anybody with any knowledge regarding this issue will have a very negative view of bush's handling on N.K. btw, Clinton's policy was better than Bush's off-and-on, and pretty much a non-existant policy....

Regarding Dean he scares me, but i'm looking into this wesley clark character.... (pretty impressive resume, eh?) 4 star general, top of his class at westpoint, supreme allied commander of NATO during kosovo....

I agree "utterly contemptible" and I would add "disgraceful and cowardly," to the list, but also oh so very understandable... and perhaps even paradoxically respectable from a S. Korean national interest perspective...

im sorry, but your are mistaken friend. I have the greatest amount of confidence when I say it will take an unthinkable incident to turn S. Korean nationalism from Anti-Americanism towards anti-n.koreanism/anti-communists....
