Make no mistake--this North Korea crap is the fault of the Bush Administration.

1. It is true, Bush exacerbated the problem,

But the problem with NK didn't start with him, it's been going on a long, long while. The Kim family has always had a touch of the batshit crazy about them, and all of them would, from time to time, throw one of these hissy fits. It was bound to happen that sooner or later, Kim Jong Un would take up the family tradition. It is how NK gets attention, and tries to get the world to pay attention to them. This time around, we're contributing to the problem, because instead of simply ignoring the hissy fit, we're playing right into it, sending in B-2 overflights, flying in a stealth fighter patrol, sending in missile defense, etc. It also doesn't help that SK's president is calling for a preemptive strike on NK.

I agree, Bush bolloxed up the North Korean path to rejoining the world, but to say everything about the North Korean situation is his fault is disingenuous.
