Now we know that Obama believes that we just need to have a sit-down chat with maniacal dictators; he told us that during the election.

So far, how's it working with our ol' buddy, Kimmy Jong Il? They've said they're going to weaponize their nukes. Does that mean it isn't working, or we just need to talk longer? Or talk with a sterner tone?

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said the new U.N. penalties provide the necessary tools to help check North Korea's continued pursuit of nuclear weapons.

The sanctions show that "North Korea's pursuit of nuclear weapons and the capacity to deliver those weapons through missiles is not going to be accepted by the neighbors as well as the greater international community," Clinton said Saturday at a news conference in Canada.

Let me ask something here, Hillary and Barry--North Korea's neighbors have so far accepted everything, including the threat of developing nuclear weapons. Why is it you think they won't keep rolling over until somebody's radioactive?

I'm sure in this case, more stern words WILL work. Not because there's anything to back up that belief, but just because hope is enough. Isn't that right, all you people who voted for change?
