It's not only liberals who have attempted to shine a spotlight on the issue of North Korea vs. Iraq, but some ultra-rabid-conservatives like myself as well. For some of us the shoes of hypocracy are just a bit too tight. And not just with regard to North Korea, but Cuba as well.
So, why have I become quiet on this issue? For one thing, as George Burns would say..."It's been done". Additionally, and more to the point, this is not the time to be shooting off one's mouth, but rather the time to be battening down the hatches.

The funny part about this is all of the Democrats were on the presidents back because they wanted him to move "multilaterally" on the issue of Iraq but in the same breath they were saying that he should conduct "bilateral" negotiations with North Korea. I can't figure out why the press and the Republicans haven't called them on this.

I urge you, as a conservative, to speak out, eg write a letter to the editor, to voice the catalog of horribles that go on in North Korea. We need to highlight the crimes of Kim Jong Il. We can mention how North Korea kidnapped japanese women, how they blew up airliners, how they propagandize their whole country to rabidly hate the US, how they consuct public execution for political crimes, how they keep 200,000 people in labor camps, how they have killed millions through Stalinist Communist economics and create misery and total lack of hope and freedom.
A good streategic know to choose his battles and knows his enemies can be defeated if they are taken on one by one. It would be good therefore to wait until Saddam is gone and then begin this campaign.
The Liberals were trying to frustrate that by demanding Bush compromise on IRaq and NK. After dealing with Iraq, we can deal seriously with NK and we *should* raise the issue: Why not Regime Change for the worst Regime on planet earth???
