Kim Jong is a very special kind of leader in the mold of Stalin, Mao, Hitler, and Saddam. He cares nothing about North Korea, it's military, or it's civilian population. These dictator's policies led to millions of deaths. They all had concentration camps and purposive starvation of their own people. It is all about Kim Jong and his fragile, disturbed ego. George Bush has insulted him regularly which serves no purpose. Bush has called him a pygmy. At five foot three inches, Kim is really sensitive about his height. He wears high heeled shoes and had a huge amount of hair. It is against the law to laugh at Kim in North Korea.
Bush has replaced Clinton's attempts at diplomacy with insults that are counterproductive. This is not about the usual conflicts among nations. This is about the personal ego of one disturbed man. This week's Newsweek has great coverage of North Korea. Bill Clinton was five times better President than George Bush on his very best day. Don't you wish we had Bill Clinton dealing with Iraq and North Korea???
