north korean nukes: Bush vs Kerry

a good piece in the boston globe about the current situation in North Korea.

''The difference between Bush and Kerry comes down to Bush believes that you don't negotiate with evil people," said Ivo Daalder, a scholar at the Brookings Institution, a centrist think tank based in Washington. ''Kerry's position is that we do negotiate with evil. We did that with the Russians from 1963 until 2001." When Bush took office, many of his most influential foreign policy advisers, including Vice President Dick Cheney and Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, already were deeply skeptical about the deal Clinton struck in 1994 to provide massive economic aid and two light-water reactors to North Korea in exchange for a halt in the country's nuclear program.
