The trick isn't to break some eggs to make an omelette, it's convincing the eggs to break themselves in order to aspire to omelettehood. -
Nothings for certain except death, taxes, NK breaking a promise, and Palestinians breaking a cease fire.EViiiiiiL!!! - Mermaid ManComment

For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator RubioComment

Does that mean you're not going to give me a hard time in this thread Arrian?Originally posted by Arrian
I very much doubt it. It is an extortionist state, and they've perfected this routine. NK says, over and over again "**** you! Pay me!"
It's got little to do with Bush. They do this to every U.S. admin. We've yet to grow the balls required to just ignore them.

I agree. However, there's nothing stopping the US from immediately putting the Norks back on the terrorism list, freezing bank accounts and the like.Originally posted by Wezil
No doubt NK is in a tough spot and will promise anything...at the moment. Send the food now and they will lie, cheat and renege later. That is where the safe bet lies.
The next President will be scoffing at Bush and his bad 'deal' just like Bush did with Clinton. The problem isn't with the president, it is with the N Koreans.
If you'll excuse the analogy, prior approaches were an exercise in regulating the size of the carrot while Bush's approach is an exercise in regulating the size of the stick. This seems like at least slightly more favorable territory for the good guys. Now, you might argue that this is a distinction without a difference, which I'll admit is not a bad argument.
Also, the Nork end game appears to be a peace treaty. I guess they figure that the US would then leave South Korea eventually. Peace treaties seem pretty useless to me, but if the Norks want one that badly, perhaps we can get some of what we want in return by going along with it.Last edited by DanS; September 4, 2007, 11:48.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

I can't see a U.S. pullout unless the North Koreans agree to reduce the size of their gigantic army. The Norks aren't going to agree to troop reduction until they feel that they can trust their own people. --And can ya really trust people who are starving?Originally posted by DanS
