Bush on the 'well, he started it' defense...
Guardian Unlimited | Special reports | Japan bans all trade with North Korea: "Kofi Annan, the UN secretary-general, urged Pyongyang not to escalate an already 'extremely difficult situation'.
He urged the US to enter direct talks with North Korea, something which Washington consistently refuses to do. 'I have always argued that we should talk to parties whose behaviour we want to change,' Mr Annan said.
Mr Bush rejected criticism from Democrats that he had failed to build on a 1994 deal with North Korea agreed by then president, Bill Clinton.'It is the intransigence of the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-il, that led to the current situation,' said Mr Bush."
