I really hope that Obama had a good long talk with former Pres. Clinton about No. Korea. Clinton was able to get them to stop trying to build missiles. And it was only after Bush called them part of the axis of evil and called the president a pigmy that they restarted the nuclear program.

I really think we should be able to negotiate with them and hope this new guy that Obama is sending is sensitive to the history we have with them.

It would be nice to see No. Korea open to the rest of the world and I find it too bad that they can't also talk about the symphony orchestra and other issues that might lead to NK being more open.

That's true too. It probably gave a shiver to a number of countries when we invaded a sovereign country for no good reason.
