Pyongyang's off the US terrorism list; Herr Bush picked the wrong fight!

Herr Bush picked the wrong fight when he let his then national security advisor Condoleeza Rice put North Korea on his 'axes of evil' list. In a moment of whimsy, Herr Bush, a scrappy, dirty fighter, and a small man in mind and thought, took on a wily opponent who bested him at every twist and turn. Not only that, Herr Bush lacked the cujones to discipline his vice president whom he let go to the edges of the extreme in matters domestic and foreign. By his dickering, his waffling, his sitting on the fence, Herr Bush in all his small mindedness even allowed Pyongyang to join the world's club of atomic powers! And for what? One, to prove, Clinton was soft on North Korea? In part, yes! Two, to show, he could bell the communist beast? In part, yes! The laundry list could go on and on. The US elected twice, a yahoo with a pedigree of weath and a Yale degree and a Harvard MBA, who failed many times in business, to assume the role of the leader of the world's only superpower. And boy, did he fail at that! Like the grumbling, formidable mountain of LaFontaine's fable, Herr Bush in finally living up to his promises to take Pyongyang on his list of terrorist states, gave birth to a mouse of an agreement. He lost, and in doing so, proved the bankruptcy of his stupid foreign policy which knocked the US as 'the' superpower worldwide. North Korea emerges the winner! Pyongyang delivered the knockout by slowly escalating the risks of ignoring it...read, starting up its nuclear reaction, producing plutonium grade uranium, and testing its very sophistication rocket technology!
