| it's just bluster, I was under the impression that the talks were going pretty well? That they'd agreed to abandon a military nuclear program, and they were ironing out details for the civilian one. |

| KJI needs to stop being a blackmailing bastard. One man's selfishness is causing 20 million others to suffer. He will have his own special place in hell, when he goes there. |

I refer this to a parallel incident where two foreign soldiers ACCIDENTALLY (probaly through negligence) kill two teen girls and huge segments of hte nation go out and cry like babies, exploiting the real tragedy in a racist furvor.
A Korean man, Kim Dae-han, murders close to 200 Koreans INTENTIONALLY and it reveals a underbelly of skimping on safety and intentionally negligable behavior by the Daegu subway driver and superiors - and there's not even one large protest.
Such is the Korean way, I suppose. The culture will point fingers (ala the "imf crisis" when it was "Chaebols and bad banking crisis BAILED OUT by the IMF") but what about the internal rot that threatens the people's well-being?
The only way to help North Korea is to smoke Kim Jeong-hitler with extreme prejudice: it is that simple.
Accomplishing that - well, that is not so simple.

KJI is the devil incarnate. North Korean people are not bad, I think, but I wouldn't want to converse with them. They've been so brainwashed and undereducated, they'd probably put a knife in me and not even know why.
I think every country needs to tell KJI to shut the *beep* up and stop his blackmailing, then maybe things will go somewhere. |

Yes I agree, stories like this come out on days when there isn't much else to report. It takes a lot of diplomacy to overcome NK's paranoia and this is probably just a low point in the proceedings, and I guess the diplomats are working on that. It must be hard to convince North Korea that they won't be attacked if they drop their nuclear weapons program, when you can't even convince most westerners of that. |

| KJI is waiting to see who wins the presidency. So right now hes not gonna be making waves. I notice a HUGE change in the situation. Several months ago they were threatening war daily, bluster was a daily thing. Its died down a lot since then. The North is just trying to get the best deal it can, they are gonna sell the program for money,oil, food, whetever else they can get. |

| I agree it must be difficult to convince them to drop their nukes, if you were KJI and you saw what happened to another "axis of evil" country recently, would you want fewer weapons, or more? |
