The Question of North Korea

The Question of North Korea

Korea has the bomb, but not to worry.
It’s not a crisis. No, we needn’t hurry
To get inspections back. Why try to spot
The weapons they already say they’ve got?

Korea has the bomb, but not to worry.
It’s not a crisis. No, we needn’t hurry
To get inspections back. Why try to spot
The weapons they already say they’ve got?
Containment’s fine, no reason for attack.
The threat, we’ve said for months, is just Iraq.
And why destroy Saddam but still contrive
To let this wicked Kim Jong Il survive?
Because one wicked tyrant must remain
To run against in Bush’s next campaign.

For nearly 160 years, The Nation has stood for truth, justice, and moral clarity. As a reader-supported publication, we are not beholden to the whims of advertisers or a corporate owner.
