I learned last week that we need onsite inspections, at least in theory since satellite detection isn't adequate. So as in the case of N. Korea I would offer carrots. As we help them build reactors, we could offer to drop the economic sanctions against Iraq in exchange for complete inspections.

They would have to be internationally based and allow inspections of any sites deemed to be possible production or storage sites.

From what I understand, the reactor we are helping build in N. Korea is not capable of producing highly enriched uranium or weapons grade plutonium. Not that it couldn't be converted. But look at what the N. Koreans are doing right now. Just today they opened the rail way between the North and South. N. Korea has apologized to Japan for taking some of their people hostage.

To offer a carrot to Iraq would be rewarding them for violating the promises they made to allow Saddam to remain in power. We have seen what an invertibrate like Clinton has done for our credibilty and our willingness to enforce the conditions Saddam signed on to. At this point in time, we can't act like Neville Chamberlain (sp?)
