What did Kristol say (for those without TVs)?
IMHO Kristol spoke reality, which is the 6 party talks have failed, NK has no incentive to stop, NK is a horrible and unpredictable regime which is especially dangerous to have nukes, NK only responds to threats of real action, the US should at least consider a quasi embargo to stop NK from exporting nuke and missile technology, and if we said this is unacceptable but now accept it, the world is going to begin to wonder if the US is credible any longer.
I didn't catch the whole thing, but he suggested something about getting China to open its border with North Korea and allow refugees. We would feed and shelter them.
