He just gave Kim Jong Il a lifetime all access pass to his private harem.

If anyone has pull at any newspapers I want at least one headline to read:
"Bill Clinton Gets Two Female Reporters Off"
Haha. distinguished mentally-challenged fellows on Free Republic are saying ZOMG OBAMA ADMIN NEGOTIOATES WITH TERRORRORORORORORORORISTSTSTSTS
This is the guy republicans tried to impeach right?
Filthy librul indeed.
But you know who would have resolved this dispute long ago?
Doug Masters.

i just saw two political cartoons already lambasting clinton for being a pussy, he shouldn't have talked to north korea, he's just bowing to kim jong ilOy vey!
holy shit these people
If this was Jimmy Carter or George I getting the job done nobody would be batting an eyelash.
If paying tribute to him results in not the death of millions of North Koreans I'm perfectly ok with that.
If the people of North Korea want to not live in a shitty third world hellhole, I suggest they look to a model other than communist dictatorship and make that happen.
Yup, only a wall would consider it to be less than ideal for our leaders to give out the product of everyone's labor to some completely non-threatening individual that's trying to coerce them.
Why, it's wholly rational to do so, even. Silly walls.
What is so unattainable about ignoring Kim Jong Il? It's a pretty simple thing to do, actually.
For that matter, how is ignoring him worse? Or, what needs to be "handled?"
Mass starvation?
Uh-huh? As an autocrat, that's his responsibility.He's indifferent to the suffering of his own people, so we can't be.
Revolutions don't happen? Well, they're certainly less likely when you continue to prop up the impotent and incompetent current regime with aid, so maybe you're right, it's not realistic to hope for that as long as we keep doing our part to prevent that.Is there any reason to expect a revolution in a place that resembles 1984's Oceania. The people are completely oppressed and they lack an educated, semi-wealthy middle class that can actually organize a revolution.

Of course it's less than ideal, but most of us realize that the ideal is often unattainable and we must choose a bad option over a worse one. You refuse to make such unhappy choices and instead retreat to libertopia, an island where people and nations are never interdependent, an island where you can simply ignore a problem and hope that someone else handles it.

yeah, but you guys are not america and thus have nothing to do with our island nation in any way, shape, or form.

And that's why we give him money and oil? :smug
Which is or is not a byproduct of said Americans forbidding Japan from having a normal military?

Actually, you americans are the only thing preventing it (the military base in Okinawa).
Which is or is not a byproduct of said Americans forbidding Japan from having a normal military? It's just not neccessary for us to still have bases in Japan sixty four years later. It's also expensive.

Japan continues to spend more on its military than all but a handful of countries.

Hmm, have you ever played Risk? It might illuminate the advantages of having your army in a solid strategic position, rather than on the other side of the world. Your armies are expensive wherever the hell they are btw.
Risk is a world domination game...
...
Yeah, I'll let you stew about that one a second and get back to me.
"Interests" maybe, but not so much "defense."
Is it any wonder Kim Jong Il coughed up the booty? He just wants a ride in a giant Gundam before he kicks the bucket.
Do you know what a Jehova Complex is, Jaydubya? One example is when you think the world needs to subscribe to your own 'moral code' and it would be considered 'unethical' to act otherwise. Its one of the biggest inticators of a neurotic with irrational expectations.
If you're saying that people have different perspectives regarding ethics, no shit.
However...
a) are you, despite all reason and precedent, somehow suggesting that you and yours don't make arguments based on your own subjective ethics?
b) it is illogical, counterproductive, and yes, flat-out unethical to continue to support the North Korean regime with aid.

Well let's bomb those gooks to freedom!
Or even better, let's ignore them! Once the country succombed to famine, we think of all the starving people and touch ourselves at night because we know we stuck to our principles.
