Bush is not at fault at all in this instance.
What you have is a group of nutjobs (North Korea) breaking international law & treaty (again) in not only having pursued, but now admittedly possessing Nuclear weapons. They don't like the facts that we want multi-lateral talks with regional powers, people who it affects, because they want head-to-head talks because they feel it vindicates and justifies the type of country they are running. China is approaching it half assed because they know the breakdown, they have long been North Korea's biggest enabler A) because they are also communist and they think this legitimitzes them and B) they like the fact that a nutjob is at the helm in N. Korea because a divided Korea and unstable famine suffering military dictatorship doesn't challenge China's regional power.
The question is how to go at it from here for the sake of our allies Japan and South Korea.
