Appeasement never works
Clinton understood this when it came to Serbia. He bombed the hell out of them and then they came around. The problem Clinton faced was that he couldn't bomb North Korea without losing Seoul. He was in a bad situation. So he got desperate and made the age old mistake of turning to bribes. He took a bad situation and made it even worse. The issue I have, is that people are so partisan they won't cop to the obvious. Bribery and appeasement don't work, and they didn't work this time. The liberals always claim that Bush won't cop to mistakes, but this was the most obvious foreign policy mistake in the past thirty years, and they won't cop to it.
