The North Korean's might think the Bush administration walked away from this treaty first.. and there was no treaty at all by the time they restarted nuclear production.

The United States didn't walk away from the treaty the N Koreans are violating. We walked away from a different treaty entirely. So we may have set a sort of precedent, but not directly. The nonproliferation treaty that N Korea has opted out of is a lot different.

Just vote him out... and WATCH how fast these problems are resolved.. Bush is the flea causing this itch... send that redneck cowboy back to the ranch and get a proper leader people!!

First of all, he's a faux redneck and cowboy (there are very few cowboys in Kennebunkport). Second of all, he's only one part in this mess, and not nearly as much a part as some people would like to think. Who exactly holds the office of the President of the United States will not significantly influence the actions of a rouge state like N. Korea. I don't dispute the fact that using the war on terror as an excuse to go after Saddam, and the simple-minded language behind the whole "axis of evil" approach, may have contributed to N Korea's
tactical decisions - but probably not their policy decisions.

the UN can do ANY job the US military can do... particularly IF the USA chooses to start supporting it!

Really? Now, you are kidding me, right? No Republican President can dare to be seen as supporting the U.N. too much - it would alienate the "everybody else in the world are pussies or commies" attitude of a large part of their constituency. And I'm pretty certain that there are far more problems involved in getting the UN to deal with a situation like N Korea than just the U.S. When the UN does things like allow Libya to chair the Human Rights committee, it begins to lose just a tad of its credibility, don'cha think?

Yeah that's going to be a trick and a half. Get ready for 6 more years of this at least

Exactly the same prediction would have been made 12 years ago today. We could get a sax or guitar player a lot quicker than you think, 'cause we're barely into the 2nd half ... and nowhere near the 2 minute warning.
