KOREA SEEMS LIKE THE MODEL OF WHAT BUSH ENVISIONS FOR GAZA AND THE WEST BANK

BUSH (VIA POWER LINE):

... the past has just been empty words, you know. We -- actually it hasn't been that much -- I'm the only President that's really articulated a two-state solution so far -- but saying two states really doesn't have much bearing until borders are defined, right of return issues resolved, Jerusalem is understood, security measures -- the common security measures will be in place. That's what I'm talking about. I'm talking about a clear, defined state around which people can rally.

And there's going to be -- there will be no better difference, a clear difference, than the vision of Hamas in Gaza and the vision of the President and the Prime Minister and his team based here in Ramallah. And to me, that's how you solve the issue in the long-term.

WHAT CAUGHT MY EYE WAS THIS:

And there's going to be -- there will be no better difference, a clear difference, than the vision of Hamas in Gaza and the vision of the President and the Prime Minister and his team based here in Ramallah

LIKE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NORTH KOREA AND SOUTH KOREA.

BUT....

• NORTH KOREA HAS LIVED FOR 60 YEARS UNDER A HORRIFIC SOCIALIST TYRANNY AND UNDER AWFUL THE POVERTY WHICH THAT TYRANNY CREATES.
• THERE IS NO SIGN THAT THE REGIME COLLAPSING - EVEN THOUGH MILLIONS STARVE TO DEATH.
• EVEN THOUGH EVERYONE IN THE WORLD CAN SEE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KOREANS UNDER ONE SYSTEM AND KOREANS UNDER THE OTHER SYSTEM, NOTHING HAS CHANGED.

• SEEMS TO ME THAT BUSH IS SAYING THAT THREE OR FOUR MORE GENERATIONS OF NORTH KOREANS AND GAZANS MUST WITHER UNDER THE YOLK OF TYRANNY. TYRANNIES WHICH THREATEN THEIR NEIGHBORS.
  

SAD.

WE SHOULD CONFRONT THEM AND TOPPLE THEM - NORTH KOREA AND GAZA/HAMAS - THE WAY REAGAN DID THE USSR.

THAT WOULD BE THE RIGHT THING TO DO.
