Brant-
Not to get too political and get into the whole Dems vs. Repubs argument again-but wasn't it during the Clinton Admin that Sect Albright went over to NK, meet with Kim Jung Il, and gave NK either access to technical data and/or the actual componets for the nukes in exchange for a "promise" by KJI that he wouldn't use that in making nukes, but only for peaceful purposes?

Once Sect Albright left, KJI basicially tore up that agreement and continued to develop the nuclear weapons.

If I'm wrong, I'll admit it, but I think I am correct for the most part.

I don't think "hated" is a good word. I don't think either should necessarily be hated. That said, I think that both are dangerous in their own ways.
I don't disagree but the current administration wants us to think in these terms... I'm only trying to be a good guest of the country.

Dear Kim Jong Il-

We have the Tennessee and the Alaska parked off your east coast in 100 feet of water. Each submarine has 24 Trident II missiles. Each missile has 10 MIRVs (multiple independently targeted reentry vehicles) with super accurate D5 nuclear warheads. We've already selected and programmed every target. Say the word and I'll vaporize every square square millimeter of your pathetic little country, you fat little prick.

Sincerely,

George W. Bush*

* BTW, this is one asshole talking to another.

why must we hate the country? It's the government that you should not like. The majority of the populace have nothing to do with their country's policies. Having grown up in a communist country, I will bet you money that most North Koreans hate their leader.

oh, and having several Iranian friends/colleagues, I know that the current government is not well-liked either except for some religious fanatics.

Read above response to Brunt. When is the last time anyone was serious in the Corner. If I wanted serious I'd listen to what's going on in this meeting.
