A Please Hurry Up and Die, You Asshole policy might work fine for the Cubas of the world, provided we have about 50 years to work with and no enrichment facilities sitting in Havana, but I'm not sure it worked so well here.

Not exactly. Bush's NK policy has been to demand 6 way talks instead of bi-lateral. The point of this is to include the regional powers in the solution. It makes a ton of sense, especially given that China and Russia are not only neighbors, but also on the Security Counsel. It also makes a ton of sense to include Japan and SK, because they are the nations most at risk with a nuclear NK.
I thought you folks were for multilateral diplomacy? Now I'm confused. So is it multilateral diplomacy if Bush cannot get it, and bilateral if he can?
