I heard an interview with John Bolton this morning on NPR, parts of which are reported
here and
here.
This may be what I heard but I can't listen to it now. I've got to say, I agree with just about everything I heard him say about North Korea and our North Korea policy. Since he's not in the government anymore, he wasn't pushed on what he thinks we should be doing, and that's probably where we disagree. If you think, as he does, that the North Koreans are not willingly to going give up their nuclear weapons program, I'm not sure what you can do other than regime change, a construction that delightfully eliminates the verb to help people ignore that it means killing North Koreans to force them to get new leaders, or figuring out how to live in a world where the North Koreans have nuclear weapons. I think he's for regime change. I think I'm for not killing people.
