Why not? The leader of North Korea has been caught lying and going backwards on commitments so many times that you WOULD have to be a fool to trust him. The policy of pretending the man is not a liar in order to not offend him and send him into a tantrum has proven to be an absolute failure. |

Speaking to a group of foreign policy experts and students on Wednesday, Rice rejected criticism from U.S. conservatives who believe the Bush administration has been too trusting of Pyongyang in recent years.
"Nobody was trusting of the North Koreans. I mean, who trusts the North Koreans? You'd have to be an idiot to trust the North Koreans," she said in the appearance at the Council of Foreign Relations think tank, prompting laughter.

South Koreans trusted them for 10 years and many in South Korea STILL trust NK.  |
