North Korea Restarts ReactorsCommunist nation's nuclear standoff with U.S. ratchets up yet another notch
Hmmm... should have eliminated it earlier, a la Osirak. But going into negotiations has the same problems it's always had - you can't put the nutcases in charge. Incidentally, those who have been saying that we have to work with North Korea because Kim Jong-Il is just crazy enough to start a war seem to have failed to notice that he laid the groundwork for this confrontation back when negotiations were thought to be working. North Korea didn't start nukes because the US cut off oil; they'd been working on the nukes and taking our oil until the Bushies said we wouldn't help meet their energy needs if they weren't abiding by their agreements. People seem to forget this. Perhaps the best thing to do at this point would be to suggest to South Korea that we can be off the Korean peninsula in six weeks if they believe that we're getting in the way of peace and harmony with the North. I'd be curious to hear how they responded.
