From the start, the hawks' alternative to diplomacy was full of danger. Their solution -- economic sanctions and bombing runs -- might have disarmed North Korea, but only at the risk of war. President Clinton, former President Carter and Mr. Gallucci deserve warm praise for charting a less costly and more successful course.

I DEMAND A RETRACTION !!!!!! (pfffffffftttttt)

Don't hold your breath. The Washington Times story on this quoted Daryl Kimball, executive director of the Arms Control Association and a supporter of Clinton's naive 1994 accord with North Korea. Here's his take:

"Based on what little we know, it's very unclear whether the evidence presented by the Bush administration really does constitute a breach by North Korea of the agreement. If there is a new crisis regarding North Korea's nuclear ambitions, the Bush administration bears a heavy responsibility to try and resolve it."

In other words, like Baghdad Bonior and Jihad Jim McDermott, we'll take the tyrant's word over that of our president. And if North Korea did breach the accord, the Bushies pushed them to do it. It's all Bush's fault, and he'd better fix it.

I wish I could think of a stronger word than chutzpah withoug using profanity.
