Do I feel a need to blame Bush for this?
No, primarily I blame the psychotic, paranoid, and sadistic Kim Jong Il. But let's look at the facts:
* Bush lumped Iraq, Iran and North Korea together as the Axis of Evil.
* Bush attacked the first and weakest of this threesome, on the pretense of their having imminent mushroom cloud capability.
* The other two have expedited their nuclear development programs.
One has to ask, how invalid are their claims of deterrence?
North Korea's nascent nuclear weapons program is another step in the inevitable development of nuclear capability by less-than-friendly countries. Such proliferation will be an ongoing challenge for the world. I believe that the threat can best be kept under control by a combination of diplomacy and technology implemented and enforced by the United Nations, with U.S. leadership and worldwide cooperation.
Good thing for us at this critical time that the new U.N. secretary-general-elect is a neutral party, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N. is a skilled diplomat and our current administration has a proven record of successful diplomacy in difficult situations.
Oh, wait …
