With the quiet admission (boast?) by the North Koren government that they possess nuclear weapons, some feel that N. Korea should be our next "First Priority". While I believe that the N. Korean government poses a threat to a certain extent, I do not think that it poses as great a threat to the U.S. as it does to it's own people. People who have been enslaved, starved, brain washed into following the cult of the so-called "Great Leader" and his repugnant son, the "Dear Leader", and basically terrorized by their own government.
I think Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is on the right track in regards to N. Korea, in insisting that negotiations are the way to go, as opposed to any "military option" that some are pressing for. From this article in the (London) Times On-Line, I think that all we need is patience. If we can simply wait, the government of N. Korea will eventually implode, hopefully freeing the N. Korean people from the abysmal tyrany they have had to endure since the end of WWII. All the signs are there, but do we have the patience to wait?
