North Korea warms to Kerry presidency bid.
What have I said time and time again? That all the dictators and terrorists in the world want a Democratic win this year.
In the past few weeks, speeches by the Massachusetts senator have been broadcast on Radio Pyongyang and reported in glowing terms by the Korea Central News Agency (KCNA), the official mouthpiece of Mr Kim's communist regime. ... Pyongyang seems to hope victory for the Democratic candidate on November 2 would lead to a softening in US policy towards the country's nuclear weapons programme.
But both Mr Kerry and Mr Bush are committed to North Korean disarmament. Mr Kerry, however, would renew bilateral negotiations between Washington and Pyongyang, while Mr Bush has sought to manage the conversation with North Korea through multilateral talks. Mr Kerry has also been more forthright about setting out the economic rewards for North Korea if it disarms.
First Iran, now North Korea.
Update: publius at Wunderkinder just reminded me of this Lileks article I'd linked to earlier.
Update: Well, now I know not to trust the Financial Times to keep their archives around. This page is now behind a "subscriber only" wall. I'm glad I quoted some of it.
