I read this today. Found it interesting. Pehaps a parallel situation?

And finally... if Iran really just wants power, why doesn't the west save
a lot of money and trouble and just offer to BUILD the damn nuclear power
plants *for* them, no strings attached. It would cost a lot less than
war, in both money and bodies, and they would no longer have any excuse
for their own program. Think of it like good old fashioned American
litigation...sometimes its cheaper to settle than to go to court, even if
you are right. If they persisted with the program in spite of the offer,
at least you now have a *real* excuse.

Gee...isn't that about what Bubba and the peanut farmer did for North Korea?

Naiveté in kids is cute; in adults it can be deadly.

Oh well, they can always blame Bush. Somehow.
