If you’re wondering why this Time article (“North Korean Nuke Test: What Good Is Diplomacy?“) sounds, well, sensible, take a look at the byline:
Bill Powell/Tokyo
It’s amazing how being somewhere that the lunatics in North Korea can easily hit with a nuclear weapon can clarify the mind. Although I am forced to point this out to Mr. Powell: his “usually very well-informed intelligence source in east Asia” may not have seen this coming, but John Bolton predicted it last week. Legal Insurrection is waiting to see whether anybody who criticized Mr. Bolton for that op-ed is going to retract, apologize, or correct their statements now.
Legal Insurrection will probably have a long wait.

Maybe so, BUT...
Next93 (Diary) Tuesday, May 26th at 2:30PM EST (link)With European capitals in the crosshairs, it should be amusing to see how quickly the Europeans can shift from criticizing Bush for being a cowboy to criticizing Obama for being limp-wristed.
One of the first jokes I learned in Italian: What’s the one thing that can make the French appreciate American assertiveness? A German flag on the Arc d’Triumph.
Obama was The One in 2008.
He’ll be a BIGGER one in 2012.
Obama is is either soiling himself
