The Dumbest Thing I’ve Ever Heard

“Our interest is a stable North Korea.”

— Bill Richardson

They sell uranium to Libya, sell  missiles to Iran and Syria, renounce or violate every agreement they make, kill “impure” babies, gas kids, put the handicapped in concentration camps, and intentionally starve millions of their people.  And we want  them to be able  to go on doing that?  My idea of our interests obviously differs from Bill Richardson’s.  The North Koreans have fooled him so many times, he’s obviously beyond any hope of ever realizing it.

Afterthought:   This is an especially odd thing to say in light of Kim Jong Il’s announcement that he’ll return to the six-party talks.  If you’re Kim Jong Il and you hear this, why should you even show up now?
