Thank you for the link. I was worried there was some hidden 1977-1981 policy I did not know about. Mr. Carter's unique foreign policies don't do the nation much good. (Unlike constructive former Presidents, such as Bush and Clinton.) Ah, yes. Thank you for the link. I was worried there was some hidden 1977-1981 policy I did not know about.

Kim Jong-il and his fellow slave masters are trying to dictate the pace of events by setting a timetable of nuclearization, based on a crash program wrung from their human property. But why should it be assumed that their failed state and society are permanent? Another timeline, oriented to liberation and regime change, is what the dynasty most fears. It should start to fear it more. Bravo to President Bush, anyway, for his bluntness.
