Chef. Actually, I was thinking of what just might be the real evil? Wasn't the Korean War easing to an end and wasn't re-conciliation actually occurring say 20 years ago?

What changed the tone?

Seems I recall a speech about the "Axis of Evil". And never forget the Neo-Con publicly stated "Plan for a New American Century". Initiate a problem, propagandize the problem, intervene for "self-Protection" from that problem.

That Neo-Con model has worked quite well since it was published ( by PNAC) in the 90's and actually practiced before then. It has gotten us into several conflicts where we could build Empire.

The cost was minimal ( to the Neo-Cons ) not so minimal to the victims or the Americans who had to help profit the Neo-Con plan.

The question should be, "Is the blustering of Kim for a defensive purpose, or is it to attack someone?" As I recall all this escalated with the advent of the Bush speech.
