Kudos for Clinton

I'm shocked to see a former US President doing this, but props (*shudder*) to Bill Clinton for going to talk to North Korean Officials. Clinton is spearheading an effort to release US journalists from imprisonment by the incredibly oppressive North Korean regime.

 Clinton, himself, is certainly no friend of liberty.  Like his wife, he is a pro-war type, and his administration's corruption was truly legendary.  I, myself, am inclined to think this act of "benevolence" is primarily motivated by the career politician's perpetual need to be in the limelight.

But still, this is undoubtedly a wonderful development. As Ron Paul always says, we need to be strong and sovereign, yet humble and civil, willing to talk to all people.  Kudos to the ex-Pres for negotiating with the North Koreans.
