Agreements with liars aren't worth pursuing. Bill Clinton, who knows something about liars, made an agreement with North Korea in 1994. He agreed to build them nuclear reactors, provide oil, and lighten trade barriers. North Korea agreed to stop its nuclear program. They didn't. The Communist dictatorship exploded its second nuclear device this weekend. This North Korean lesson is worth remembering as American political leaders currently pursue agreements as the main tool to prevent rogue states from obtaining nuclear weapons.

Not saying they are not dangerous, but how does a country that ranks as one of the lowest GDP’s in the world and that can not afford to provide electric power or feed its people sufficiently scare anybody? At least anybody here in the U.S..
