How did Bush ignore the problem for four years? By pushing for multi-lateral talks? By involving NK's pimp (China) and getting their regional neighbors in the picture? Invasion was never an option for North Korea, mostly because even without WMD's it would be hell. You'd get China involved (like in the first Korean war), not to mention you would be invading a country with wicked terrain and the worlds 3rd largest standing army that is the sole prize of the country, Kim Jong Il's military first policy literally pushed his people to canabalism.
And Hardknock this is Clinton's fault you can try and deflect the blame on Bush, but you are just plain wrong. Clinton buckled like a punk and caved into blackmail by Kim Jong Il, he didn't hold him to his word, and now they have nuclear weapons (surprise, surprise). I know you would like to look at this only in terms of short term (Bush haters tend to do that), but that is just ignorant and neglects the reality, the history, and all of the policy that is and was at play.
