To: Non-Sequitur

That’s just lib propaganda. Give me an example.

To me, the North Korea thing is the best counter-example. Bush wanted multi-lateral talks, while the Dems insisted on one-on-one talks. Eventually, Bush got his way, and recently the success of that policy was demonstrated when NK tore down the cooling tower on their nuke installation.

How is that a policy of not caring what other nations thought? Insisting that other nations become involved in the process certainly does not fit that category.

The same strategy is being played out on Iran. Bush has resisted the Dems’ call for one-on-one talks directly with Iran. He has encouraged the Europeans to negotiate with Iran, while he plays the bad cop. It hasn’t worked, but I don’t think one-on-one talks would work either, nor do I see how his policy can be characterized as a “go it alone” policy. If anything, it is the Dems who want a go-it-alone policy, with their insistance on one-on-one talks.

I am not sure this demonstrates anything except that dprk no longer needs this particular facility for their work.
