Only (a) Clinton could go to North Korea.
Damn sure the blood thirsty right will ask when Michelle Obama goes to Teheran. But this is the first step to solve this senseless crisis in the pacific region.
Negotiations about releasing TV journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee – who tried to spend the most unusual oops-op near or in or somewhere at the border of the small country with a big bomb – shouldn´t be the big problem. It´s more about breaking the silence of diplomacy and ending an arrogance that says you cannot talk to a completely outnumbered country.
By the way, while everybody talks about the end of the world – what about space flights? Where is the difference between a „ballistic missile“ and a launch system? And who defines it? Do they fear in Los Angeles everytime the French start an Ariane 5 from Kourou and why not?
So, Bill Clinton is visiting North Korea. So what? Like everybody else they thought in North Korea that the new administration in Washington would make a difference, at least to Mr. Emperor Bush and his charming Vice. This is a step to it. Would be a shame they recognize down there at the snappy weasels a bad wolf only put on new clothes.
