Indeed, Dax. My concern with North Korea was not so much its nuclear program or its terrorist activities but rather with the inconsistencies in our own activity. Refusing to reveal the details of your nuclear program does not qualify you as a terrorist sponsor and similarly, revealing your nuclear program does not mean you are suddenly no longer a state sponsor of terrorism. When our government takes action like it did with North Korea and removes them from the list of state sponsors of terrorism because they revealed their nuclear program we are essentially admitting that our terrorism list is meaningless and is nothing more than a political tool. That is not a policy we ought to embrace.

I agree.

Unfortunately, it's a policy we have been embracing for the last seven years.
