Stop bribing them to behave.No more reactors, fuel oil, etc.
Economic sanctions, clear warnings of political consequences.
Containment policy will have to be put in place.
This was a foreign affairs expert named Sokolowski, interviewed by Brit.
Sometimes I think he planted these time bombs on purpose.. around the world to blow up for the next 20 years..
Notice no Clinton flacks coming out today denying the story....dirty rotten ....@$%$@*&%'s
North Korea saw UOx42 for what he was, a weak President with an even weaker foreign policy (could it have been he was being blackmailed by North Korean agents?).
Like North Vietnam with the Treaty of Paris in 1973, the North Koreans saw their "deal" with the slime bucket as an expedient. Also like the North Vietnamese before them, the North Koreans had every intention of not fulfilling the terms of the agreement they had just concluded, because it was not in their interests to do so.
Like North Vietnam, North Korea dreams of a united Korean peninsula, and like North Vietnam, North Korea believes that union should take place under their auspices. They have never denied that.
Yet(!!), the American President agreed to give North Korea exactly what it needed to fulfill its desires - the ability to construct a nuclear device by providing light water reactors, WHILE THEY WERE STILL OFFICIALLY AT WAR WITH SOUTH KOREA (AN ALLY OF THE UNITED STATES[!!!!]).
I believe the leadership in Pyongyang actually believed Algore would win the election. That would have given them enough time to complete an atomic bomb. The election of 2000 threw their plans in a tizzy. But the pieces needed for building a nuclear device were on their way.
The saving grace - right now - in all of this is the light-water reactors haven't been built. I don't know whether all of the materials are in country at this point, but if they are not their shipment needs to stop (it should have stopped anyway). If all of the materials are in country, means should be taken to ensure they are never assembled.
Pyongyang is believing this President can be leveraged like the last one to take a fools deal. I don't think it's going to work.
