NSC Nominee: We Seek ‘Regime Transformation’

It sounds a lot like a belated disavowal of regime change in Bush’s second term. Ominous, if true. The bright spot is the discussion of referring the matter to the U.N., although that will also prove fruitless in the long run, as it has with Iran. Indeed, Roh’s attempt to align himself with France shows just what he is seeking–a toothless deal that sidelines the U.S., along the EU-three model.

Note to North Korea–get some oil, and put the U.N. in charge of selling it. Then you’ll be secure.
