You mean like the promise they made not to make any nukes??

Same old NK BS.

[A CA Guy]

I really think we need to stop giving them food, let them start to starve and see if they still maintain their ignorant attitude.

[Pro-Bush]

Any agreements must be "conditional"..

At this point, WE should have walked out.
They make demands, while we defend our commitment?

I was in a "relationship" like that once, never again.

I don't get this so maybe someone could explain it to me.

A deal was made where US gives aid to NK in exchange they dump their nuclear program.  We live up to our end and give millions in aid to them.  While we were giving them money they snuck behind our backs and continued to seek nukes.  We find out and complain, they continue.  We stop the aid and they decide to "ramp up" their program.  Now, suddenly WE are the bad guys?

Maybe I missed something?

Two points.

A society that allows itself to be corrupted, enslaved, & starved by a succession of lunatics is so bereft of values that there is no one left worth saving.

Fans of totalitarian regimes need to be shown just how low a society can sink.

Let 'em starve.

And tell the "Dear Leader" that the next time he launches a missile in the direction of us or our allies, we will assume it is nuclear tipped, and 5 minutes later his country will be a nuclear wasteland!
