Giving In. . . One More Time

Last week the White House announced that President Bush had changed the policy on how we deal with North Korea. Unfortunately for us, the policy is not more strict. The policy is yet another instance of "if we want to get along, we must give in, not make the other side meet our standards."
I can see why The President wants to reach out to other nations. I fail to see, however, why he would want to reach out to a nation which we know has had nuclear capabilities (regardless of the dismantling of the reactor) in the past. This nation's word has not been reliable. I believe their word may not be that reliable in the future.
Perhaps, President Bush might be thinking that with the little time he has left in office, he has nothing to lose by lifting these restrictions. My concern is, The United States of America may have more to lose than Citizen Bush, after January 20, 2009.
More on this situation from the pen of Ambassador John Bolton.

I remain deeply skeptical of anything termed a "good-faith" step by North Korea.
