North Korean Nuclear Power

Kim Jong-il, the cute one, back when he was a bit less scary
It always does. Fact is, blood is never solely on one person’s hands. There’s always someone else behind the curtain. And not surprisingly, United States seem to pop up in the bad books a good deal more often then one might hope.
Now, it would be obscenely ridiculous to try to blame the USA for Kimmy boy’s actions. Not smart, not accurate. Kim should be held accountable for his actions just as anyone else should be. However, the United States certainly has a good deal to answer for. The reason is clear;
North Korea is going to want to possess nuclear weapons IF it feels threatened. And feeling threatened it would. I know I would if –
A) George Bush, president of THE world’s leading super power, declared my country a member of the ‘Axis of Evil.’
B) George Bush then demonstrated that America was more than willing to invade another country on evidence lacking any kind of credibility. I.e. Iraq.
Don’t think I’m trying to defend North Korea here – I’m not. However, it’s a simple fact that when you threaten violence, people are quick to threaten back. The presidents words may win votes, but they may also have much larger consequences – that are affecting the world.

They'd become a member of the UN in 1991 and there was the 2000 summit in Pyongyang between Kim Jong-il and Kim Dae-jung. (Journalists from the South were even allowed into the North for this) Then in early 2001 some time there was that European Union delegation which was I think a pretty strong sign of reconciliation...until all of a sudden they were being referred to as an 'outpost of tyranny' by Bush and (for some strange reason) the attitude changed... I wonder why...
I think Clinton had a much better diplomatic attitude toward North Korea. .... now I guess we just have to wait and hope that these sanctions are enough to stop 'Kimmy Boy'
