N. Korea changing its tune now

[BinLadenmustdie]

Hmmmm. Look like N. Korea is acting a bit more agreeable after our manhandling of Saddam. I thought the Iraq war was supposed to make Kim Jong Il more aggressive, possibly starting WWIII? It's amazing how step-by-step the anti-Bush crowd is wrong, wrong and wrong again.

so wait... we are going to be holding talks with a guy that is no different than saddam other than his military being way better, and having nukes...

yet he is still a dictator letting his citizens die whilst living in luxury...

Keep in mind that Saddam was not willing to respond to diplomacy. If Kim is, then we don't have a whole lot of "just cause".

But the North Korean people do need a better life. Maybe after seeing what we did to Saddam, Kim might be willing to try to improve the lives of his people.

Or maybe not.

We'll just have to wait and see.

And to clarify: I'm kinda leaning towards the "maybe not" as far as Kim working to improve the lives of his people.

personally i wouldnt mind if the US removed all dictators... but if they are going to, they should be fucking honest about it... of course that will never happen...

anyway... next is syria, they are harboring saddam... then lebanon cuz syria is tight with lebanon... then jordan becomes a democracy... next onto saudi arabia... thus causing teh rest of the arabian penisula to turn democratic...

OR my theory... the whole penisula forms into 1 fundamentalist nation bent on hating the US...

nope. peple will get bored by the third and fourth and wonder why the US is putting dictators in and then taking them out again.

thas my theory too, im really annoyed with the USD, and they havent even invaded my cvountry yet.

i dont think the US will go into North Korea as easily. a nuke is not a good thing to see.

Iraq did nothing to change NK's tune. Truth is all NK wanted was to talk, but they wanted it to be more direct with Bush. Perhaps they realized that was too much to ask. I didn't want Bush to piss off NK, which he didn't. They do want to cooperate and we need to assure them we're not gonna conquer their land or assume them of not doing anything that caused the tension to begin with. It's not over yet, I'll say that much.
