Korean Lesson Lost On Obama

Nuclear Enemies: North Korea said Tuesday it has restarted atomic-weapons fuel production. President Clinton's peace deal with this dangerous tyranny failed — a warning that President Obama's with Iran will, too.

Four and a half months after 9/11, President George W. Bush warned, "North Korea is a regime arming with missiles and weapons of mass destruction," and "Iran aggressively pursues these weapons and exports terror, while an unelected few repress the Iranian people's hope for freedom."

Both North Korea and Iran were part of "an axis of evil," as Bush called it, that "could attack our allies or attempt to blackmail the United States." And he promised, "I will not stand by as peril draws closer and closer. The United States of America will not permit the world's most dangerous regimes to threaten us with the world's most destructive weapons."

Iraq's and Libya's WMD threats were eliminated during Bush's administration, but he warned that the global war on terror "may not be finished on our watch."

And how. The nuclear-armed threat of North Korea and soon-to-be-nuclear-armed threat of Islamofascist Iran today loom larger than ever.

Think Obama and Iran as you read.

North Korea's Yongbyon nuclear center, 55 miles north of Pyongyang, has now "started normal operation," it was announced this week, and the regime warned it will launch long-range, multistage missiles to mark the ruling party's 70th anniversary next month.

How did we get here? Well, 21 years ago, Clinton announced a deal with North Korea making a lot of the same presumptions that Obama is making in his nuclear pact with Iran.
