I don't disagree
However, I think had more attention been paid at the beginning of this administration to N. Korea, some of the current situation could have been averted. On the other hand, the N. Korean dictator is such a loose cannon... I do think he took advantage of Bush's preoccupation with Iraq thinking we couldn't/wouldn't do anything about his threats. Of course, Bush tends to be a bit of a loose cannon, too. Ah well, what's a little nuclear war or two?
