Don't "kill the messenger". Bolton might have a point here. Negotiations with North Korea started in Clinton's administration. Robert Gallucci, who Clinton appointed as the negotiator, was on CSPAN this morning. He was quite defensive of his role, but acknowledged that North Korea never lived up to their promises. With George the Second and Obama, they did nothing to keep North Korea from developing weapons, even though it was known that North Korea was developing weapons.

Gallucci emphasized an important point. Regime change madness (my word, not his) by both Bush2 and Obama has the North Korean dictator convinced that he has to have powerful weapons to stop that from happening to him.

It's a sobering thought. With all the chaos the US and our allies have fermented around the world, a lot of Chess pieces have been moved and there are unintended consequences. Perhaps one of them is that countries such as North Korea and Pakistan have legitimate concerns that the US is way too fond of toppling governments, and they have to be able to defend themselves.

Well yeah, and then Hillary laughed about the death of Libya's leader, who was glad to give up his nuke program.

North Korea is probably just the beginning.
