Yup, except the nuclear technology didn't come from us. It came from the
Pakistanis and China. North Korea is a hard case. With a million plus,
well armed, well trained, well indoctrinated army, solutions are limited.
IMHO, military threats are pointless, resulting in the situation we wish
to avoid. It seems to me, there are only two plausible ways of dealing
with North Korea. Isolation, in the hopes they will collapse, and,
bribery and dialog. The second is the route Clinton chose. While you may
consider it a failure, I would say it is too early to tell. Remember,
China was at one time in a similar isolated circumstance to North Korea.
Nixon chose dialog and it has seemed to be successful.
Talk, talk, talk is better than war, war, war. Karl thinks we can win a
nuclear war.

We today have a president of the United States who looks like he is the
son of Howdy Doody or Alfred E. Newman, who isn't smarter than either of
them, who is arrogant about his ignorance, who is reckless and
incompetent, and whose backers are turning the United States into a pariah.
What, me worry?
