"You don't see any problem with this Agreed Framework to provide North Korea with nuclear reactors, when,
at the same time, Rumsfeld was declaring that N. Korea was building a nuclear arsenal?"

Well said. bttt

Rev. Moon" is an opportunist. He has a long history of cultivating relations with the North Korean regime and it is very well-documents. Here's on example. Unification Church launches auto venture in North Korea.

Well, I see that Rev. Moon has been trying to pursue detente with the DPRK since 1991 which is a flawed policy at best, but one that is entirely understandable given the fact that he is a South Korean and one of his greatest hopes in life must be to see his country united after nearly 60 years of being divided along Cold War lines. Obviously, Moon has bought into the idiotic "Sunshine policy" of ailing ROK President Kim Dae Jong that was initiated as part of the Clinton-Carter Framework Agreement of 1994 in which the US agreed to support the construction of two modern nuclear reactors capable of building 60 nukes a year for the DPRK. Many of South Korea's policymakers have gone really wacky since 1994 when the President of the South Korea expressed grave concern at Clinton's appeasement deal with the North. However, you cannot call Rev. Moon "an opportunist" when after a lifetime of selfless service in the fight against global Communism, he mellows in his old age and warms to the Communist dictator of the North in the hopes that a peaceful reunification of the Korean peninsula might soon follow. Barry Goldwater went really wacky in his old age too endorsing abortion and gays after a lifetime in the service of the conservative cause, but do we call him "an opportunist" for so doing? No, we call him senile. This is most likely the case with Rev. Moon as well.

What is with your continuing assault against anti-Commuist heroes and icons anyway? Are you a paid agent of disinformation in the service of the Russian FSB? I really must say that I do not understand where all of your pent-up hatred against the anti-Communist cause is coming from given your reputation as an alleged "conspiracy theorist" who one would think would view the Communists rather than the anti-Communists as what they are--the greatest conspiracy of all time. You would do better to train your guns on the agents of globalism and internationalist Communism rather than attack poor old senile anti-Communist icons like Rev. Moon and anti-Communist heroes like Dr. Jonas Savimbi. If you were consistent, you would be attacking Reagan for trying to build up the Communist Chinese military with the latest and greatest US military technology of his time under his badly misnamed "Peace Pearl" program.

As to your final point, I agree with you that the Bush Administration is heavily compromised by pro-Communist Chinese business interests though I think you would be hard-pressed to say that Rumsfeld is part of some North Korean appeasement "racket" given his very public hardline view against Clinton's 1994 nuclear appeasement deal with the DPRK. You cannot always blame a man for the duplicity of his business associates. Every man should be evaluated based upon his own merits and on this basis, a national security hard-liner like Rumsfeld is a breath of fresh air which has gone far to balance out the power of Commie-appeaser Colin Powell, who the President should have fired long ago as a menace to our national security.

Well, the New York Times appears to think that Arafat is a responsible, mature leader...so what would make them think that North Korea is anything but an upstanding society.

The New York Times praised Hitler effusively throughout the 30's, praised Stalin effusively from the 40's through the early 50's, and praised Mao effusively through the early 70's. If they like butchers like those, what is there about North Korea for them not to like?

There is one certainty about the New York Times: They will ALWAYS get it wrong.

I already knew right off that Rev. Moon was an opportunist. He doesn't fool me a bit. Wonder where he came up wth the name "Rev. Moon". Sounds like another wolf in sheep's clothing.
