Democrats Sure Love to Appease Dictators!

The photo opportunity N. Korea needed.

The Democratic Party once again rewarded a dictator for bad behavior… this time former President Bill Clinton flew to the Stalinist dictatorship of North Korea to “win” the release of two Americans taken prisoner there.  They had been sentanced to 12 years of hard labor.  While I’m glad they are out of the country, why do the Democrats love to appease dictators so much?

A few words on this from Investor’s Business Daily:

We have just rewarded North Korea — once again — for behaving badly.

It’s not that country’s fault if we offer only carrots and never any sticks. Yes, we’re glad for Ling and Lee. But make no mistake: They weren’t prisoners; they were hostages.

Groveling, anyone? Kim now knows the current U.S. leader can be blackmailed — if he didn’t know it before. That’s what made President Clinton so appropriate for this mission. It was from Clinton that Kim first learned this lesson.

In 1994, recall, Clinton sent former President Carter — see a pattern? — to North Korea to negotiate that country’s denuclearization. Carter returned with a deal similar in its sycophancy and cynicism to the one Neville Chamberlain brought back from Munich.

In exchange for billions of dollars in food aid and even help for its “peaceful” nuclear power effort, North Korea vowed to behave and decommission its nuclear weapons program.

No sooner had the ink dried than North Korea began cheating. During the Clinton years, the U.S. and the U.N. signed three agreements with North Korea. North Korea broke its word each time.

Let’s not forget that Iran has three American “prisoners” now and, like North Korea, is working on its nuclear weapons program.  What sort of carrots will Democrats throw that regime that, like North Korea, shoots, jails, and murders dissidents.

Bill Clinton was the perfect guy for the job… he spent most of his time in office ignoring terrorist threats including the three declarations of war made by al Qaeda against the U.S.

Recently Obama said the U.S. wouldn’t play North Korea’s game of rewarding bad behavior… well that promise didn’t last long.

And let’s not forget these two Americans worked for Al Gore… why didn’t he go there too?

Democrats… supported by the majority of dictators worldwide!
