Why doesn't Bush just pay off the North Koreans?

[quaoar]

Why doesn't he get the Dear Leader on the phone and say, "So how much is it going to cost to make you go away?"

North Korea can be bought off. They're practically begging for it. Kim Jong Il fancies himself a film producer, so maybe we can just set him up in Hollywood with his own studio and let him make porn and bad westerns.

Whatever it would cost to buy them off would be cheaper than war -- not to mention better than having North Korean nuclear missiles hitting the West Coast.

Can't be because borrow-and-spend Bush doesn't want to spend the money. Must be because he trashed Clinton's deal with the North Koreans so now he can't make one.

1. He could afford $100billion or more as long as we get the two....

..."nukeuler bombs" they say they have built. You see, there's no oil in N Korea, not even off the coast line. But Iran, that's a different story, they have as much as Iraq and perhaps even as much as Saudi Arabia.

2. What if the took the money

and then kept building more nukes too.

Isn't that what they did last time?

[quaoar]

3. Yes, but this time

they would not be allowed to cross their fingers when they make the promise.

4. Ever see "The Seven Samuri"?

Or "The Magnificent Seven"?

5. You always catch more flys with honey than vinegar

Bush* is not a Diplomat. He just does not understand the concept. He has always just made demands and gotten his way. He is the perfect face of America at this time in our history. Arrogant, inconsiderate, and morally bankrupt. Pretty much sums up America as a whole
