@ slimebeast: Bush, along with a new administration in S. Korea at about the same time, actually antagonized N. Korea and reversed progress that had been made. So I disagree with respect to that country at least.

Huh? The US convinced the N Koreans to lay down it's nuke program years before Obama was even considered a President candiate.

I'm talking about like back in 2000 or thereabouts, there was a lot of progress being made, people crossing the border for work, S. Koreans funding/operating (?) a factory in N. Korea, stuff like that (I'm fuzzy on the details), but then a new S. Korean administration decided to say "screw you NK!" and shut things down, and the Bush administration was not exactly helping the situation.  So this could easily be seen as inciting or at least encouraging the N. Korean bad behavior of that decade.  

Or so I've heard.   

I loved that administration in South Korea lol.

But anyway, the Bush administration also fixed the whole thing with the N Korean nuke threat long before the Democrats came to power.

(hint: they didn't want to be demolished like Afghanistan and Iraq)
