A condensed history of recent US-NK relations:

S. Korea Opposes N. Korea Missile / US to give into N. Korean extortion , Aug. 23, 1999.
The meeting comes amid reports that the United States has offered North Korea wide-ranging economic and political benefits if Pyongyang holds off on a missile test.

Clinton Ignored Kim Jong-il's Nukes:
North Korea had no intention of abiding by the so-called "Agreed Framework" prohibiting it from developing nuclear weapons that it signed with the Clinton administration in 1994.

View from the Axis: When Norbert Vollertsen hears critics rip President George W. Bush's "axis of evil" remarks, he can't help rolling his eyes. North Koreans, he says, "are so happy about the president's speech-and they will tell you that he is absolutely right. For the first time in their lives they felt supported and encouraged. Defectors are willing now to come to the United States in order to testify because of this speech."
