Yes, it is a possibility, but in order to avoid this happening, the US must have direct talks with NK.


Lets examine that statement, Yiwu. Korea's word cannot be trusted on building Nukes. They just admitted that they broke a deal with us---long before Bush got in, BTW. So if we agree to start paying them off again not to build them, how do we verify? We would have to have unlimited inspections to do so, and even then, it would be very risky. And NK will never agree.

So what will direct talks get us? At this point, nothing. Clinton was ready to take out NK's Nuke plants in '94, and it turns out he should have done it. I see no way out of this mess but for us to do it. We cannot trust them. And we are putting a Nuke attack on the US on the front burner if we don't. Very tough situation.
