That is an excellent thing to say. I am going to pay a lot more attention to your posts henceforth.

Umm, somebody check Hannity's room for pods. Clinton did not "enable" North Korea to build nukes. Clinton, if he did anything, kept the North Korean nuclear program at a research level while he talked with them. Only after Bush gave the Kirk vs Klingons speech did they produce any nuclear weapons. That would be when they had a demonstrably hostile overwhelming force, given to preemptive action, but largely deterrable with nuclear weapons making threats.
Harry Truman screwed these guys after WWII and screwed them again in their own back yard. They are about 25 years behind the rest of the world ideologically and technologically, and have a justified xenophobia. One of Truman's successors starts making noises that might lead to fighting? They aren't going to get screwed twice the same way.
Now, that isn't to say that they're not screwing their own people, just that there are better ways to tell them not to do that than, "Knock it off or we're gonna clobber you again," as Bush seemed to be gettin to. Like how Clinton did it.
