The North Koreans did some things according to the agreement -- they stopped processing plutonium. They also broke the agreement -- they processed uranium. Even though they broke the agreement, we were still better off than we would have been had they continued processing plutionium.

You know this how? CIA intel? A "slam dunk" assessment? We have no idea what goes on in NK. Never have.

Notwithstanding all your prattle about appeasement, the fact is that we were better off bribing the North Koreans to stop processing uranium (the Clinton approach) than we were talking a lot and doing nothing (the Bush approach). Neither approach was, ultimately, sufficient, since the fundamental problem is that there's not much we can do to stop the North Koreans from building the bomb if they want to, given the number of guns they have pointing at Seoul, etc. Under Bush, though, we apparently have succeeded in convincing the North Koreans that they need nuclear weapons to ensure that we don't do to them what we did to Iraq.

Right. It was those "tough words" that really set them off.
When did you become a moonbat automaton?
