IT WAS one of those I-Cannot-Believe-This-Is-Happening moments. President Donald Trump just did what no other president in American history was able to do. Sixty-five years after the end of the Korean War, he sat down with the leader of North Korea, a government that is a leading member of the Axis of Evil and an ardent foe of the United States.
The two enemies, who only a few months ago were threatening to blow up each other's countries, now smiled at each other, exchanged a few pleasantries, and at the conclusion of the approximately four hours of talks, they both signed an agreement which calls for the United States to provide "security guarantees" to North Korea and which envisions the "complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula".
