Korea, Japan, and the U.S. Not Playing Well Together

I was reading about the whole North-Korea-saying-they-have-nuclear-weapons thingy, and here's what I'm thinkin'.

North Korea, led by the reclusive dictator Kim Jong Il, is pulling out
of the talks after concluding that the second Bush administration would
pursue the "brazen-faced, double-dealing tactics" of dialogue and "regime change."

Don't be sad, Kim, he uses the same brazen-faced, double-dealing tactics on the American people, when it comes to inventing reasons to go to war with Iraq or figuring costs of Medicare and Social Security.

Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice told RTL television of Luxembourg:
"The North Koreans should reassess this and try to end their own isolation"

That's like saying, "When you admit that I am your lord and master and do my chores for a month, then maybe I'll stop beating you up every day". Yup, that pretty much sums up our foreign policy, there doesn't it?

"...let them bomb Japan with that nasty missile," Mr. Ishihara taunted
with sarcasm in his voice as he spoke in his office, in Tokyo's tallest building. "Their missile cannot load a nuclear warhead." Asked what Japan
would do in response to a missile attack, Mr. Ishihara merely smiled.

Is that kind of like Bush saying "Bring it on?" My, my our world leaders are getting cocky, aren't they.

"The onus is really on North Korea," said John R. Bolton,
undersecretary of state for arms control and international security...

Onus? Who uses the word onus? Is that supposed to scare the North Koreans into cooperating? Or is that a threat suggesting they prove that they have nuclear weapons by, I don't know, dropping a nuclear warhead on us maybe?

If there weren't lives at stake, and they were just boys and girls playing at recess, this would be kind of funny. Why can't they just put a sign on their treehouse that says "No Boys Allowed?" That always works for me and my friends.

Pyongyang said it has "manufactured nukes for self-defense to cope with
the Bush administration's undisguised policy to isolate and stifle" North
Korea, and that it will "bolster its nuclear weapons arsenal."

So, the only responsible thing for Bush to do is resign so North Korea won't nuke us.
