What was brokered, Doug was a deal that would have brought Washington and North Korea closer together as the US was to previded a level of assistence to the North Koreans with setting up nuclear power to bring electricity to an impovrished people.

But what happened was that, Junior, wanting to seem like everything that Clinton ever did was wrong did an about face in following thru. Just as he did in the Middle East, I might add. In doing so, that level of cooperation took a nose dive.

Now, becuase the US, or US companies more specificly assisted North Korea on the initial phases of the deal before Bush backed out, now Clinton is being blemed for a program that wouldn't have occured had the US held the course.

And, if you look into the matter beyond the Rush Limbaugh bumper sticker reading, you'll realize that the assistence that was provided comes up way, way short of providing NK with either the technology or fuel for much more than what Saddam has, which ain't much!

How many folks out there are afraid that Norht Korea has a sophistcated nuclear weapons progrma that threatens the United States? Hmmmmm? You want to count the hands, Doug...

Give me a break.

Might of fact, Dougie, since you been prescibing all kinds of meds and counseling fir me lately. How about a month of no Rush Limbaugh or Rush Limbaugh wantabees fir you, my friend. You're starting to sound as if you believe all that crap...

Now, come on over here and get a big hug...
