Wonderfull straw man comment.
As if the two scenarios are total appeasement vs total war and nuking.
Grow up.
You are the one who needs to grow up.
You are the one who is trying to make a big deal of Bush using diplomacy to achieve something important, which at the moment is to disarm N. Korea.
Curious comment from someone who posted this in the first place with the silly keywords.
The President has two jobs; one executive, the other ceremonial. In other countries they have two positions for that. In most countries you have a Monarch or a President with no power for the ceremonial jobs, such as shaking the hand of a foreign potentate. The other job is the job of the Prime Minister who has the real power to run the country. You have to cut our President some slack when he does the ceremonial job.
