What about Korea?

[mburbank]

Nobody believes North Korea becuase of their hyperbolic rhetoric. We will look pretty damn stupid if it turns out they mean it. Peronally, I think harrassing a US spy plane for the first time since the sixties is a sign they kind of are serious. Too bad we won't 'negotiate' with them. But, you know, were pretty busy with Iraq. The administration couldn't even be bothered to read the budget before signing it, how are they supposed to deal with a real crisis? Iraq is such a big deal, those poor folks in the West Wing hardly have time to erode civil rights. I think y'all should ease up. Once the killin' starts, they'll be in more relaxed frame of mind.
