I have yet to see where the U.S. has done anything effective to change his course.

The US has been integral in driving the UN sanctions.

Libs criticized Bush for being "unilateral" with Iraq, and now they criticize him for being "multilateral" with North Korea.

Yes, because every crisis can be handled the same way.

Even if they never test another bomb, they now know they can export a low yield weapon to the highest bidder.

I am not much of a GWB fan----but from what I have read, alot of this has to do with the US quietly moving behind the scenes and cutting off all of N. Korea's
international credit. Which is not to say that China has nothing to do with it either---but that cut off the credit step is finally getting to Kim Jong ll.
Hitting him hard where he lives--and giving him a healthy dose of reality therapy.

So credit where credit is due----GWB did a good job here.

So how does a President cut off all credit for a country in a world market?

Can he make OPEC pump more oil while he's at it?

Um, the government can institute many economic sanctions on countries that aren't behaving properly.

Look, China's economic gains have much to do with American might as they do with China's loosening grip. And China knows that if they want get economically stronger they need US investment. So, to say that America had nothing to do with this is assinine.
