Right; and most of us would agree with the gist of your comment. However, I think the larger point is that far more action could have been taken to prevent the recent string of events in the DPRK.

NK has always wanted the prestige and perceived security by joining the nuclear club…so does Iran.
It is obvious NK had a nuclear objective long before the Bush administration showed up.
That it happened during Bush’s watch was a matter of historical fate, nothing else.

Oh wait…</p>]]> Please tell me the US has mulled over the dangers, or at least, the consequences, of pushing through yet more financial sanctions on NK? Aren’t they aware that pushing NK to a tipping point could force them to try and make back the money spent on their nuclear program on the black market? Oh wait…
