North Korea’s government invites TV crews to come film the demolition of a cooling tower at its aging Yongbyon nuclear plant (note: there is no invitation for them to freely roam the rest of North Korea), and this is hailed in the news and lauded by the State Department as a big symbol of nuclear disarmament.
Wrong symbol. For years Kim Jong Il’s nuclear proliferation schemes have spread way beyond Yongbyon. We’ll know North Korea is serious about peace and disarmament when we start seeing TV broadcasts of North Koreans blowing up and knocking down those giant statues of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il.

1. Layer Seven:The State Department is working overtime to undo the accomplishments of Ronald Reagan.
Condi Rice has found a new home among moribund, parasitic, collectivists.
The State Department denies all responsibility for the characteristic staggering toll in human life from what is only another typical communist regime.
The in-bred response of our State Department is to sustain, prop up, and fuel this perennial humanitarian disaster, as if they were plugging a hole in the dyke.
Masters of delusional and toxic “statecraft” ought to be put on trial for devastating gas-chamber results.
