How many tons of food and fuel did we send them? Plenty. So what?

So, we kept the North Korean military fed and fueled, which enabled the regime to remain standing, and WMD research to continue, while the people the aid was intended for continued to starve and freeze.

There's a big difference between humanitarian aid and chemicals necessary for purifying plutonium.

How do you figure that, when dealing with a state like North Korea? It's like donating guns to your local street gang, and then protesting your innocence by saying, "Hey, I'm not the one that gave them ammo."

70% of thir fuel comes from China. As to food, we reduced the pressure. I presume you would prefer they starve for real?

Try refining plutonium with wheat.

Guns are a whole lot easier to get than 20 tons of tributyl phosphate, although with Indonesian piracy on the rise it's getting easier.
