Regime Change

even more "hard work",[mp3]

One of the problems involved in the discussion to Stop North Korea Now is that the administration tried to simultaneously deal with changing North Korea's behavior and regime change [see audio mp3]. It should be apparent that in dealing with North Korea these concerns work against each other, but when it comes to the behavior of our our leaders they are as close as can be. In the former case a threat of regime change leads to a reason to develop weapons for reasons given in the discussion: prestige, security and politics. For America the issues of prestige, security and even politics are what demand regime change here, but are only talk for those in power now.

Hence, another link I need to find is my earliest use of the term "fear and smear". Such tactics are the administration's only defense, and they are only offensive. The results are in, but they can only change their talk.

Democrats are the party of defense,
Republicans are the offensive party.
