Agreed. And not only that, but bullying Iraq, a country that actually followed the rules by allowing inspectors and allowed to be disarmed, showed everyone else what NOT to do. Which is why N.Korea made this following statement:

"KCNA said that North Korea had learned from the war in Iraq that it was a fatal mistake to bow to inspections as Baghdad had learned to its cost."

"The only way of averting a war is to increase one's own just self-defensive means," KCNA said.

No nuclear inspections, says North Korea

Seoul, April 10: Communist North Korea indicated on Thursday it had no intention of allowing UN inspectors back into the country as it quietly tore up the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty.

The Stalinist regime kicked out inspectors four months ago and served notice a month later that it was pulling out of the international arms control accord that has served as a gatekeeper to nuclear weapons proliferaton for more than three decades.

The withdrawal became effective on Thursday without official comment from North Korea.

Washington says that North Korea has already produced nuclear weapons and admitted in October that it was running a programme based on enriched uranium to produce more, sparking the current nuclear crisis.

The United States has demanded that North Korea scrap its nuclear programmes before dialogue on resolving the crisis can begin.

Without admitting outright that it possessed nuclear weapons, North Korea came close today when it said allowing nuclear inspections would entail disarmament.

"The US demand for the DPRK's (North Korea's) scrapping of its 'nuclear weapons programme before dialogue' would lead to inspection and the resultant disarmament spark a war," Pyonyang's official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said.

KCNA said that North Korea had learned from the war in Iraq that it was a fatal mistake to bow to inspections as Baghdad had learned to its cost.

"The only way of averting a war is to increase one's own just self-defensive means," KCNA said.
