Diplomatocy Triumphery

As it might be put, Dear Leader to Dear Leader.

North Korea apparently agreed to forego its Nuclear Program, including nuclear energy. And what did the Bush Administration agree to?

The North and United States also pledged in the agreement to respect each other's sovereignty and right to peaceful coexistence.

"The United States affirmed that is has no nuclear weapons on the Korean Peninsula and has no intention to attack or invade (North Korea) with nuclear or conventional weapons," according to the statement, assurances echoed by South Korea.

Now this is a promise that no American Administration has been willing to agree to in 52 years. Frankly, it is a promise that the Bush Administration and its allies would never claim to have agreed to. It is further something that could have resolved this matter more than four years ago (or earlier for that matter). Clinton would have been excoriated for such a concession. What will the anti-communists core of the GOP do? Is their love of Bush greater than their contempt for the most repressive of Marxist governments?
