Democrats and North Korea

[Talentless]

I don't understand why some Democrats are negatively critical of the deal brokered with North Korea if they also think it's good and the same as what Clinton had with N.K. Putting aside that apparently many people consider the deal under the Clinton years a failure, what purpose does it serve to say the newest deal under Bush's term is good but should have been done sooner? Do they think it will give Bush an enormous boost in his popularity? How realistic is that, and how much could he capitalize on whatever boost he could get? This looks like a pretty pointless and sour grapes criticism to me. I don't see the tangible benefit to complimenting the deal with the qualification that it should have been done sooner. Well, I can think of one, just now, some hyper partisan morons within their party might go ape stupid if at least half of what a Congressional Democrat says about Bush isn't negative. But I'm still not convinced it's really necessary.

Well, they hate Bush because his democracy "doesn't work," and when it does, hate him for not "taking action" against the DPRK. The Democrats need to learn that they cannot have it both ways, particularly with diplomacy, and unfortunately I get the feeling that things may or may not be as good as they seem.

...When it comes down to it, Bush got done what needed to get done, and happy with it or not given your political party, he did the right thing. Although I don't know if I'm happy with all of the terms of the agreement, it is better than nothing...

Now if we can just work towards toppling his regime in some way, shape, or form, we can eventually unite the Korean Peninsula once again, and make Korea the way it should be.

America has stupid foreign policy anyway.

If you mean "we will do what we can for you only if it helps us." then yes.

You want topple his regime in any way without making NK take some kind of military action. He's more than a leader to the deluded folk of NK.

that reminds me of a quote by Stephen Colbert:

"What really excites me about this revelation is that it lowers the standard for the next invasion. Before, the standard was imminent danger. Now the standard is "What are you lookin' at? You lookin' at me? 'Cause my friend says you're lookin' at me and there's nobody else here so I guess you're looking at me!""

Anything Bush does cant be good if you are a hypocrite and a Dem .

If he's GOOD than why vote for a Dem ? Its that simple . They cant even admit he's good if he cures world hunger...they would have to say its only temporary and he ruined the economy and attracted a Martain invasion .
