Bush’s comments on North Korea
by Richardson ~ February 1st, 2006. Filed under: America, North Korea.President Bush made only one passing reference to North Korea, regarding its lack of democracy, in last nights state of the union address:
Far from being a hopeless dream, the advance of freedom is the great story of our time. In 1945, there were about two dozen lonely democracies in the world. Today, there are 122… At the start of 2006, more than half the people of our world live in democratic nations. And we do not forget the other half, in places like Syria and Burma, Zimbabwe, North Korea and Iran, because the demands of justice, and the peace of this world require their freedom as well.
