...over missile defense, Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage made clear Thursday that Washington would hold talks with Pyongyang "in the near future" once the Bush administration had completed its review of Korea policy. He also made public a letter from President Bush to South Korea?s President Kim Dae Jung promising to "strongly support the South?s engagement policy on the North." The statements are clearly intended to undo some of the diplomatic damage done during President Kim?s visit to Washington in March, when President Bush had appeared to distance himself from the South Korean leader's policy...
...first time that Bush's impatience with the niceties of diplomacy has ruffled friendly feathers. During South Korean President Kim Dae Jung's recent visit to Washington, Bush embarrassed the Nobel laureate by saying he didn't trust North Korea to live up to the missile agreement Kim has been painstakingly trying to forge with his menacing neighbor. However valid Bush's concern, by expressing it publicly he undercut an ally. Likewise, Bush's abrupt abandonment of the Kyoto global warming treaty, whatever the merits of the decision, provoked a wave of anger across the Atlantic and in a stroke...
...question is not so much what this meeting means for Sino-U.S. relations, but what it may mean for Asia as a whole.

On its face, it would seem that this was a reasonable position, showing that the American dedication to democracy and human rights will not be mocked and that its agreements with potentially aggressive nations should be strictly enforced in a transparent manner. It would have been a constructive statement of policy--if only Bush had first...
...South Korean president has expended so much energy to see such a peace achieved. This is not to say that the U.S. should roll over to one of the world's most erratic rogue nations; rather, it should proceed with caution on an agenda that will support Kim Dae Jung's responsible vision of incremental steps to long-lasting stability for the Koreas...
