Indeed, the Bush administration’s unilateral behavior, including the dismantling of the 1994 Geneva Agreed Framework with North Korea, the hyping of an enriched uranium deal, and the infamous “axis of evil” speech, have all increased the paranoia of an already paranoid regime. So former President Bush’s foreign policy toward North Korea, especially during his first term in office, must take a fair share of responsibility for the present mess.
事实上，布什政府的单边行为——包括其背弃在1994年和朝鲜达成的《日内瓦共识框架协议》，大肆宣传朝鲜的铀浓缩交易以及发表声名狼藉的“邪恶轴心”演讲——都强化了朝鲜已经很偏执的政府的偏执倾向。所以，美国前总统布什的对朝外交政策，特别是在其第一届任期内的对朝外交政策，必须为当前的混乱局面承担一定的责任。
