Who's saying they don't have ulterior motives? The fact is, they HAVE figured out nuclear technology on their own. They both had built fuel producing reactors on their own.

The fuel is the key. Without the fuel, you can't build bombs. That's what both deals attempted to get at. To remove the fuel before it could be turned into bombs.

There's another way you can build bombs, but it's much more labor and time intensive process - refining mined uranium as we did for our first bombs.

That's how N. Korea was "cheating", but it would have taken them many more years if the Clinton deal had been maintained. Bush, by breaking the deal when he discovered the cheating, freed them to use spent nuclear fuel, a MUCH faster process. They didn't have to mine or refine the uranium - the highly radioactive rods were already lying in water that we USED to have constant IAEA monitoring of.
