This is a headline I did not expect to see.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/6356481.stm

Chinese envoy Wu Dawei said Pyongyang had agreed to shut down its main nuclear reactor in return for fuel aid.
The North will eventually receive another one million tonnes of fuel oil or an equivalent when it permanently disables its nuclear operations, he said.
Mr Wu said the US had agreed to begin the process of removing North Korea from its list of terror states and establish diplomatic relations.
Japan would also discuss normalising relations with the North. |
How'd they do that? Will it last? |

If North Korea said it, it must be true and will surely happen!

the Bush administration gave in and agreed to bilateral discussions finally, which began just after the failed congressional and senatorial elections for the republicans
this agreement is the product of that, as Bush's team tries to salvage some wins on the world war against terrorists
who announces it when is all about show... this decision had nothing to do with china directly i'd bet |

Do I detect a note of sarcasm there? You old-hands, you'll never believe.
This one is genuine, I tell ya! I'm breaking out the good stuff tonight. Announcements like this call for nothing but the best!
In other news...

The agreement's tentative, not set in stone, so expect some last-minute demands to be made.
A: Then it's settled. Now, if you would kindly sign on the dotted line ...
B: Wait. We've reconsidered, and decided that the compensation is not adequate without 3,000 virgins ...

| Doesn't this belong in the Current Events forum? It's best to keep the political wackos caged in there (not referring to the current above posters). Why muck up the rest of the site? |

I believe this affects those of us living and working in Korea. |

| So do lots of things. But this is more of a news event, than something that effects day-to-day living in Korea. |

Thanks. I had a look at the Current Events forum and didn't see it (due to strange title.) I do think that those of us who don't haunt that forum need a chance to talk about this. |
