Reality on North Korea
All day long I've been thinking about Bush's press conference this morning and one of his answers on N. Korea.
What about reality, Mr. Bush? Is it ever possible that you might change your policy based upon reality or - whatever?
The reality is that for the last three years this policy has not yielded positive results, that's inarguable, and yet you are still not changing that policy.
Sir, you may be able to live in a world without reality, but the rest of us are at greater risk because of your decisions.
(Ditto for Iraq.)
Q: I'm wondering if you -- what is different about the current set of warnings, and do you think the administration and our government runs a risk of looking feckless to the world by issuing these kinds of warnings regularly without response from the countries?
THE PRESIDENT: That's a fair question. First of all, I am making it clear our policy hasn't changed. It's important for the folks to understand that we don't continually shift our goals based upon polls or -- whatever.

Isn't one of the definitions of insanity doing the same action over and over and expecting different results?

Yes, that's one.
Another is building a logical construct on an illogical basis.
For instance, launching a war against a country that had no WMD program and no connection with 9-11.
A third would be a delusional refusal to accept reality.
