Once and for all: Can we please stop pretending that Kim Jong Il is negotiating with us in good faith? The only surprise about North Korea's latest missed deadline--and broken promise--in the ongoing "six-party talks" is Washington's seemingly unending tolerance for this diplomatic masquerade.

This whole issue with NK could be easily solved.
NK depends on China and China depends on exports to America, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong and Germany.
All GWB has to do is to tell the Chicoms to get their dog, NK, “back on the porch” or not one container of their junk will by offloaded in San Pedro, CA or anywhere else in the world. The Chicoms would fold like a card table. How do you say “embargo” in Chinese?

Both this and the last administration have given far to much leeway towards North Korea.
We’ve fed them and given them the fuel they need to continue living. Still N.K. craps on us at every turn.
What is wrong with Condi Rice to keep kissing the backside of N.K.?

Most of the places yo mention think woman number 10.
Great, so send them a black and a woman. That’ll show them.

How about ya send them a strong male like our former U.N. rep?

It won’t end until Rice and the liberals in the Department of State are fired.

China will probably pay US Lobby groups to threat President Bush for blackmailing China. Chicom has already paid a US lobby group to put pressure on the Bush administration not to take any tough stance on the food scandals by China... and it seems China is succeeding.
