Bush on North Korea

I'll give credit where credit is due. Bush has toned down his rhetoric regarding North Korea and, from the available information, is handling the North Korean situation well. He is focusing on diplomacy and I agree that we should not engage in unilateral talks with the government. For diplomacy to work will require the input of China, South Korea, Russia and Japan, in particular, as well as the US.

Now begin a phased withdrawal of Iraq, cut military spending, throw out your prescription drug bill, make the tax code more progressive, stop subsidizing oil companies ... etc, and I'll be a happy man.
