Clinton Must Apologize to North Korea for Her Undiplomatic Rant. She Disgraces the U.S. as Usual.

We exist in a world of many cultures and ideals and must manage conflicts where possible.  Our government, as in the cases of World Wars One and Two seem to have provoked sovereign states into aggression, as in the demonstrated case of Japan and Germany, and joined others along political lines all for the prize of some 80,000,000 dead bodies scattered around the landscape. The history of the age of diplomacy is convoluted with puerile bickering and brash actions. The current international political blunder created by Hillary Clinton[1], possibly linked to the Obama administration, although this is vague, similar to the economic and political isolation of Israel, foments war and social unrest in Asia because of the obtuse treatment of North Korea. Out of some 190 countries in the world many more besides NK are deserving of some attention with respect to their social conduct. Perhaps we can pass them on the stringent metric that they are not working on nuclear weapons or ballistic missiles or both. Rwanda and Cuba, thusly, get a blue ribbon and so does Venezuela.

Here, we must accuse North Korea of doing exactly what dozens of other countries have done.

“Clinton, who this week likened North Korea to an unruly child, has rallied international isolation of North Korea at a 27-member regional security forum here. She met with her Russian, Chinese, South Korean and Japanese counterparts -- the other key partners in suspended six-nation disarmament talks on North Korea -- and won strong statements of support from many delegations.”[2]-- N. Korea Escalates War of Words, Calls Clinton Vulgar, Unintelligent By Glenn Kessler Washington Post Staff Writer Thursday, July 23, 2009 6:01 PM [Emphasis is mine in all quotes.]

"There is no place to go for North Korea," Clinton told reporters after reading a nearly seven-minute statement outlining U.S. policy on North Korea. "They have no friends left."—Hillary Clinton July 23, 2009.

And:

"What we've seen is this constant demand for attention," Clinton said. "And maybe it's the mother in me or the experience that I've had with small children and unruly teenagers and people who are demanding attention -- don't give it to them, they don't deserve it, they are acting out."—Hillary Clinton July 23, 2009.

Vintage Clinton: Mouth open, tonsils rattling in harmonic sympathy with her saber and toxic venom assailing the pulpit and microphone before her.

So, for the record, what has North Korea done to deserve this? They sell arms! Can we please examine the role of the peace-loving Swedes who sold weapons to all sides who had money for 150 years while masquerading in the clownish garb of ‘neutrality?’ No condemnation for this? They are working on nuclear weapons! So are others.

How about human rights abuses? Can we please give Zimbabwe a pass for their grand works and merely treat them like the state of Arkansas but dump on North Korea.  Can we wonder why the USSR was never subjected to a War Crimes Tribunal as was the case for Germany?  Didn’t they send the Cheka[3] and more advanced groups such as the KGB and GRU around to liquidate a few dozen million citizens in their own country and their satellites? Walter Duranty[4]--, the Patron Saint of the New York Times, got a Pulitzer Prize for his disinformation and distortion of the Russian pogroms because they were—what-- allies?

The logic that defines the diplomatic stance against North Korea apparently seeps from the Bush administration into the current scene from thinking like this:

“But after North Korea tested ballistic missiles and a nuclear weapon, the Obama team shifted course, viewing North Korea as a test case to demonstrate that substantial sanctions could be imposed on nuclear rogues while still holding out the promise of a better relationship.”-- Obama Administration view.

This reminds me of the old colonial days  of the 19^th century where the major powers had seized most of the earth’s land spaces and all of its waters and then issued edicts about the excesses of imperialism and conduct of others. It reminds me of the year 1453 when cannon fire aided one aggressor and an empire was lost. Could India have brought up similar charges against England? How much blame can we heap on Africa for slavery? None?

North Korea has a very valid point here based simply on hypocrisy. Apparently, they are to be subjected to some ethereal mandate to dissolve their missile and nuclear weaponry programs because it is time to “halt this process” for “reasons of peace and world stability.”

The ultimatum:

"We are open to talks with North Korea. But we are not interested in half-measures," Clinton said. "We do not intend to reward the North just for returning to the table."—Obama Administration view as taught to the world by Hillary Clinton.

Can we take this stilted diplomatic position and restructure it a bit and then impose it on Hamas in Gaza or Iran or South Africa or Syria? Or, do we have different rules for other countries? The theories on nuclear weapons and their operation date back a hundred years or so and the process to make such devices is entirely an engineering activity—not something that is esoteric or something that involves new inventions. Everybody can have a nuke if they wish.  We will talk and you will listen and then pop tall and obey.

What we suffer from now is the sickening hypocrisy derived from the singular point of power: We are powerful so we make the rules.

There is nothing in the Clinton Rant to suggest that North Korea, Iran or anybody else can trust the Obama administration as they listen to the howls of a crooker lawyer who made millions from political influence.  We cannot trust Obama with the handling of the economy any more than we can trust him on diplomacy. He is failing in all that he does.

Clearly, this is not the path forward to any resolution of nuclear weapons in the world. To think that a person with such an antisocial personality disorder can deliver a civil message to the public or conduct negotiations around the world is monstrous leap of faith. Hillary is not the kind of person to be trusted by her words or to deliver even the mail. She and Obama are the New Fascists.

She should resign and other methods suggested giving North Korea some alternatives. They did not invent nuclear weapons and will not be either the first to sell, employ them or make threats with their potential power.

Hillary should resign in disgrace. Her personality and rants mark the demise of our society.
