Yes, Hitchens was overrated. And Nirvana was cringe. Call me when you've got the balls to take a position publically you'll be hated for.

I honestly think for all the talk of the dangers of supposedly legitimizing NK, Trump's basic tactic of trying to be friendly is more promising than what the establishment has been pursuing over the last few decades.

IIRC Clinton's position on N. Korea was to be friendly with them. A position 180'd by Bush who wanted to be the "tough on crime guy." And South Korea favors a Sunshine policy. It's only favorable to be anti-peace talks when a Republican follows a Democrat.
