No.. the "technical question" is WHY they were violating the NPT in the first place??!!!! I believe their position is they were violating the NPT because the US renigged on their commitments. Our position is that they were violating the NPT, no need to say anything else. The N. Korean government is one of the most intransigent regimes on the face of the earth.. They permit famine to kill hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of their own people, and Kim Jong Il and their military leaders CONSTANTLY threaten their neighbors with invasion and war... Absolutely. I'll even give them the number one slot in current intrangient regimes. And he is a real threat to his neighbors [unlike Iraq]. I'll even up you one. It doens't matter what NK agrees to, they can't keep an agreement for 24 hours let alone permanently. I didn't understand why Clinton bothered making an agreement with NK and I don't understand why this Administration bothers to make an agreement with them. The only way President Kim isn't going to break another agreement is when he's dead. Is that clear? jttmab
