#2 Steve White---This is a DYNAMITE paper! I am about halfway through it. The question that is asked in the paper is why hasn't the NORK regime collapsed like the Soviet Union?

The answer seems to be that other countries are propping it up with various forms of aid. One of those countries is of course China. SKor is also in there. But the big surprise is the magnitude of aid given by the USA during the period from 1998 to 2002. It is absolutely unbelievable! I can understand Clinton doing it, but I cannot fathom why the Bush Administration was doing it for 2 years. The Norks have also turned to nefarious enterprises (missiles, narcotics, weapons) to help their balance of trade. The point so far is that our aid was the biggest contribution of any foreign power, and that this aid may have been the thing that prevented the evil regime of Kimmy from collapsing.

If this situation as mentioned in the article is true, then Congress needs to know what this country is doing and some serious ass in the Administration and State needs to be kicked and weeded out of the government. We cannot win the WoT with this kind of enabling mentality.

In the words of the immortal Pogo:

We have met the enemy and he is us.

#3 Thank you Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and Madeleine Albright. Without your sagacious policies, North Korea might have collapsed in the 90s.
