That's an increasingly salient question, as the U.N. Security Council passes unanimous and binding, but force-free, sanctions against nuclear North Korea, and an arms race that could give birth to as many as 40 new nuclear powers threatens to erupt and spread from Asia to the Mideast.
A good point was made earlier today, I think on Fox News' Beltway Boys, of all places, that North Korea's determination to have nuclear weapons likely traces back to the stationing of American nuclear weapons in the China Sea back during the Reagan administraiton, and the retraction of those nukes by the first President Bush likely paved the way for agreements made during the Clinton administration that backed NK down from its nuclear brinksmanship. So does that mean the wingers now should blame Ronald Reagan for Bush II's failures to halt Kim Jong Il's quest for the bomb?
