Clinton embraced this appeasement as achieving “an end to the threat of nuclear proliferation on the Korean Peninsula” — with compliance verified by international inspectors. Carter wound up winning the Nobel Peace Prize for his dubious efforts."

These reminder articles of Democrat ineptness usually use the word gullible. I don't think so. Neither of the above useful idiots thought North Korea would keep an agreement but the problem presented a perfect opportunity to present the illusion of accomplishment. Illusions of accomplishment are very important to Democrats; perhaps more important than anything else. See Obama, Barack or Clinton, Hillary.
