Bush Election 'Stopped Kim Jong-il Visiting Seoul'
North Korean leader Kim Jong-il told China's then president Jiang Zemin in September 2001 he hesitated to return a historic visit from South Korean president Kim Dae-jung because he expected little gain from such a trip after George W. Bush became U.S president.
Jiang quotes the remarks in a quasi-autobiography titled “For a Better World: Jiang Zemin's Overseas Visits.” “I’m weighing whether to make a return visit to South Korea. My visit to the South would show the world that Koreans can settle issues related to the Korean Peninsula by themselves,” it quotes Kim as telling Jiang during a Pyongyang visit. “But the international political atmosphere has changed after the U.S presidential election. It’s difficult to forecast what results my return visit would bring.” The purported remarks came 15 months after Kim Dae-jung visited the Stalinist country.
The book covering Jiang’s trips from 1990-2002 was written by former Chinese diplomats at the direction of the ex-president.

Florida recount incident was really crucial in more ways than one. It stopped Clinton from flying over to N. Korea and signing a peace treaty, and Kim Jong-il from visiting Seoul.
Ping!
This little murdering korean dog has no credibility. He is a cold-blooded killer. There are some that have speculated that he killed his own father. Make no mistake about it, we are dealing with a homicidal psychopath in the "dear leader."
He employs any means to attain his ends, his political survival. In his world, ends completely justifies his means. No means, however brutal or unconscionable, are spared.
You know of course, that Bush stopped X42 from visiting North Korea at the end of his regime.
Bush's fault!
CHIA PET (HEAD) Yo Kim Chia, the short donged one BUMP!
