North Korea to Give Up Nuclear Aims
From: BBC News [link]

I admit to being surprised to hear this news. It is a step in the right direction.

I hope N. Korea really means it...but with Kim Jong Yung II, who knows?

Nurv,
Is this the END of the nuclear family?

Just saw a story headline that now the North Koreans insist that the US give them civilian nuclear reactors in order for them to agree to dismantle their nuclear arms.
Those North Koreans are such teases!

IMO, North Korea does NOT mean it, and no one in their right mind in gov't is going to fall for any N.K. tricks and manipulative demands.

Well, I don't have a lot of faith in Kim Jong Il, but that's why I never expected this news. But like I said before, it's a step in the right direction. Letting in UN inspectors is a start, for example.

I'm not serious when I suggest we should invade. We can't afford the cash, and as long as the Bush Administration believes there are alternatives to fighting, I will continue to hope. But North Korea is proliferating nuclear secrets, thus showing itself to be a direct threat to the world's security. It is ruthlessly brutalizing its people, just as Saddam was, and now is starving them in order to show a tough national image. North Korea badly needs a regime change. That China and Russia are supporting that government is very, very sad.
