I have been thinking about Kim Jong Il's "declaration/act of war" comments and at first I thought that this was someone who was at the end of their rope and was using scare tactics in a futile attempt to bully a government run by a man that makes statements such a "Bring 'em on!"
But I have given it more thought, and I am wondering if Li'l Kim isn't getting the credit he deserves. Is it a coincidence that N. Korea's detonates a nuke a few weeks before elections? He wants the U.S. to talk to N. Korea, but we won't. His war comments have the average American about to pee themselves from fear. Incumbents need something to pacify Americans to make sure they get re-elected.
Is he counting on Congress to bully the White House into action?

It could be. Bush may present all the bluster (without the substance) necessary to win over crucial votes for the Republicans.
But I can't imagine how Lil Kim expects tangible gains, maybe boosted vanity is all.
