A Day After - DPRK Watch
Yesterday, Dear Leader, and his comrades announced they possess nuclear weapons and that they are no longer participating in multi-lateral talks. Today they announced that to defuse the tension they want to meet with the U.S. That has been their aim all along.
For years, North Korea's leaders, and everyone else's, could count on the U.S. to buy their support, or to bribe them for their support, in many cases that being exactly what the supposed enemy wanted. It is here. The DPRK officials are starving their nation. And the U.S., among others, are key to reversing the economic starvation that the 'Il' leaders have put on the North Korean people.
Should the U.S. participate in bilateral talks? I don't think so. The DPRK having nuclear weapons threatens all the people of the world, even if its the U.S. that recognizes the point of the barrel.
UPDATE: As expected, and appropriately, the Bush administration has refused bilateral talks with North Korea.
"It's not an issue between North Korea and the United States. It's a regional issue," White House press secretary Scott McClellan said. "And it's an issue that impacts all of its neighbors."
