Thanks, Bill

Isn't it ironic that a discredited former President could do the job that the verbose current President didn't have the guts or the inclination to undertake? Isn't it curious that Bill Clinton was welcomed in North Korea like a rock star? Don't you wonder if Bill exercised any official duty, while he was there? Do you care if he employed lying, his greatest skill, with the North Koreans?

What is important is that two Americans have been freed from unreasonable charges, and are home in the bosoms of their loving families, specifically, Mr. Laura Ling and Mr. Euna Lee. Hmmm. Would you marry a woman who wouldn't take your name, not even hyphenated?

PARENTHETICALLY: The case of the three Americans who "found themselves" in Iran is less clear cut. Who would be "hiking/camping" on the Iraq/Iran border today? Ling and Lee are journalists; what are the other three? Spies? Direct government involvement might confirm that.
