Example sentence: President Bush vowed earlier this year that he would never tolerate a nuclear North Korea.

Is it possible that in recent months (while Saddam was being dealt with-to ensure he never realized any nuclear capabilities), North Korea has produced one, two , or as many as eight nuclear weapons? I wonder how Mr. Bush defines tolerate?

But more importantly, this doesn't mean I have to put off my planned vacation in Pyongyang, does it?
