...there was another crisis in 1994, when Kim il Sung expelled International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors and threatened to begin reprocessing 8,000 spent fuel rods from a nuclear power plant. The U.S. government refused to talk to North Korean leaders, and made plans for economic sanctions and a military attack. As the crisis escalated, The Carter Center was finally given reluctant permission from President Clinton (news - web sites) for me to visit Pyongyang. A satisfactory agreement was concluded and later confirmed by both governments, with participation by South Korea, Japan and others...
Never has one peacekeeper done so much to destablize the peace.
Whoever proclaimed "The Road To Hell Is Paved With Good Intentions" had Jimmy Carter summed up. Stupid Southern fool. Has there ever been a more DISASTEROUS foreign policy chief executive? Twenty-five years on and we're still trying to clean up his Mid-East mess. And now we've got his 1990's do-gooder "Peace Prize" brain dead North Korean work for Clinton to clean up as well.
The man was and is incompetent beyond imagination! Too bad that "killer jackrabbit" didn't get 'im!
Clinton is so damned Carteresque in foreign incompetence I want to pull my hair out. He lead us right into 9/11 and this FAILED North Korean policy. He's barely been gone FOUR years! Just imagine his chickens come home to roost in 10, 15, 20 years! I think it's time to dig out the old shovels and civil preparedness manuals. Where's my fallout shelter when I need it?
I just cannot believe these Democrat folks are so insane as to believe it is AMERICA that needs to be held in check. They act not in our AMERICAN interest but in our enemies' and would-be enemies' interests! Truman would probably be ashamed!
