Life Is A Horror For The Korean People. And I Think Isolating Them Further Is Going To Make Life More Miserable.

The Fact Is ... That When Totalitarian Nations Like China And Saudi Arabia Play Ball With U.s. Business Interests, We Like Them Just Fine. But When Venezuela's Freely Elected President Threatens Powerful Corporate Interests, The Bush Administration Treats Him As An Enemy.

And New People Come In, And It Doesn't Go Along With Their Politics, And They Fire Me, End The Column, Silence A Voice In Los Angeles. They Can't Silence It Nationally, But They Are Able To Do It There.

Eisenhower Provided The First Break In The Cold War, By Bringing Khrushchev To The United States, In Humanizing The Soviets; And Then Nixon, By Making The Opening To China; And Then Reagan, Even Meeting In Reykjavik With Gorbachev And Acknowledging That Nuclear Weapons Are A Horror. So I Won't Accept That Republicans Just Escalate. Republicans, At Least When They Were More Moderate, They Were Maybe Even More Isolationist, They Sometimes Brought Sanity To The Debate. We Don't Have That Now. We Have - All These Republicans Have Gone Off The Neoconservative Deep End.
