#1 Putting NK on the UNSC will keep France, et al entertained while we do the heavy lifting elsewhere.

#2 What would be nice is an effective (yes, this means you, China) blockade of (uninspected)exports. As long as they aren't exporting, time is on our side

#3 Jimmy Carter is almost done in Venezuela. Why don't we send him back to North Korea? That will keep the NK's occupied for a while.

#4 This is evidence of Bush's going woobly on North Korea. The more North Korea rattles its saber the more the US backs down. The key to this is the PRC. North Korea will continue its policies unless the PRC exerts pressure. And if you believe this then how about hiring NAMBLA to babysit your little boys.

#5 Remember TJ, we want to deal with our enemies one at a time, not all at once. Remember, diplomacy is the fine art of saying "nice doggie" while you look for a rock.

I think (I hope) the Bush people are just playing along here, knowing that time is on our side. Every day we don't ship oil or food the NKors get weaker, and every day we get closer to resolving Iraq. With a bit of luck and some skillful planning, the NKors will implode just like those old buildings do when you set the charges just right -- nuttin' but a small cloud of dust.

So it's okay for now for the Bush admin team to talk about what we might do to be nice. Just as long as we don't DO any of it.
