well it kind of worked for North Korea in the sense that they finally agreed to disband its nuclear facilities, but then again they talk a lot of bs so I'm not putting much faith in their words. But at the same time North Korea is dealing with different circumstances. I think for certain countries it could possibly work but I really don't think it would work for Iran, because they can use a lot more against us than North Korea could. Its literally at the point where North Korea will fail as a country unless it attempts to make some sort of diplomatic approach with us and I think their now begining to realize it. Iran, however, can survive without us, but would suffer if we went to war with them. So if we did take the Bush approach with Iran it would probably involve some sort of fighting before Iran would begin peace negotiations, but then again thats just a simple guess. Of course the more likely scenario would be an Isreali attack on Iran or vis versa before it would get to that point with us.
