#1 And the Japanese media is somewhat sympathetic to allowing placement of nuclear tipped US missiles in their theater. That is unlikely, but a local deterent is popular.

Frankly, the NKs shouldn't have been labeled as part of some "axis of evil," unless real moves were being made against same. Kim was able to point to a military threat, while the "evil" concept was pure rhetoric, that reflected nothing practical.

#5 That was a weak excuse considering Pakistani sponsorship of every major terrorist act and group and it's 1-stop selling of uranium enrichment equipment and Chinese nuclear bomb designs. Instead the Pakis get tens of billion of dollars in US jizya.

North Korea should have been in designated the ~~Axis of Evil~~ Singularity of Starvation.

#6 But the written pledge at a summit has a special weight.

Yeah, I figure if the rubber ever meets the road, this is worth about as much as a UN "deep concern" letter.
Especially with Barry in charge.
