Is the situation with North Korea, a member of King George's "Axis of Evil", another example of good work by Clinton botched by the Bush regime?

North Korea keeps playing their trump card with the US in order to make our government live up to its promises and to help its people. The nuclear power plants that were promised to them are behind schedule. However, instead of expediting their construction to appease the North Korean government (not to mention live up to our end of the treaty), the US regime would rather the world continue to view them as a threat.

Why? As long as North Korea has nuclear weapons capabilities, the United States has all the more evidence to promote their foreign policies, most notably a missile defense system to protect Japan and the rest of the world from a nuclear attack from China.

The way to a safer planet isn't to force American ideology on everyone. Take, for instance, Bush's assertion that terrorists "are people who hate freedom." Everyone wants freedom, everone loves freedom. Those that Bush accuses of hating freedom are those that are not free. Look at the Palestinians. Our current administration seems more concerned with proliferating US might in the name of peace instead of helping areas of unrest find peace on their own. It's a 1984 definition of freedom.

Nations deserve a chance to know what freedom is by their own definition. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness -- does that ring a bell, your majesty? Give North Korea their power plants like we promised them in the first place so they can have some damn electricity and they won't need to threaten everyone with mushroom clouds.
