| In 2001, the openly stated goals of North Korea were to end it`s nuclear program in return for an end to the Korean war (there is currently only an armistice) formal diplomatic relations with the US, security assurances, and economic aid. It was High Noon at the DPRK Corral, and Big Mouth George made a lot of silly boastful statements and threats. North Korea made a bomb, and George switched his approach. Two years after Big Mouth George showed his true colors (yellow stripe) by the standards of his ilk, we now are closer to what North Korea wanted and far away from the "Our Way or the Highway" Neo-Conservative dream. It would take the DPRK at least a year to reinstate plutonium production, and probably three. Thus the world is a bit safer, but not because Big Mouth George and his gang of Yellow Bellied Bullies. What did the trick was the lesson only a fool would want the world to learn. Yellow Belly George was deterred by a hand full of bombs. |
