It was very disappointing that the Bush administration would execute another Agreed Framework with this totalitarian state. Agreeing to bilateral negotiations and removing North Korea from the terrorist state list (where it has been since 1988) was as if Ms. Albright were back. Giving them fuel oil or North Korea's choice of equivalent value after North Korea plays its missile games and it sets off a small nuclear explosion is rewarding bad behavior.
Maybe we can call our new stance the "Sunshine Policy" also. It's likely to be just as successful.
This deal will do a belly flop just like the last one.
Yep. There are people pushing for 'Sunshine Condi' for President. Maybe she should get Nobel Peace Prize instead.:-)
The Second Bush Administration "Sunshine Policy" toward North Korea and Kim Jong il, is doomed to failure. Actually, it sets up a terrible situation for his successor, whomever she turns out to be.
