4. I'll believe it when NKshows up

There's a big difference between "China said North Korea said" and actually showing up for the talks.

5. Good. Now we need to normalize relations.

And get out of the way of a regional settlement by ending the state of war, recognizing North Korea, and formally agreeing that we are not going to attack them whenever we feel like it. Meanwhile contact with the South will slowly erode the stalinist state up North and a quiet and peaceful end to that regime will eventually transpire.


Or the arrogant irrational neo-clowns in Washington, who cannot even get their clown shoes on right (and there is no wrong way to do that,) who think they are on a mission from god, can end up getting us mixed up in a nuclear atrocity. Please vote these neoclowns out of power.

North Korea Wants Bank Accounts Unfrozen
North Korea says it wants to resolve U.S. financial restrictions
at revived nuclear talks

SEOUL, South Korea, Nov. 1, 2006
By BURT HERMAN Associated Press Writer

(AP) North Korea said Wednesday it was returning to nuclear disarmament talks
to get access to its frozen overseas bank accounts, a vital source of hard
currency.

The North's Foreign Ministry made only indirect mention of its underground nuclear
test last month. Instead, it focused in an official statement on its desire to end
U.S. financial restrictions by going back to six-nation arms talks that it has
boycotted for a year.

Confirming other nations' reports of the Tuesday agreement, the Foreign Ministry
said Pyongyang decided to return to negotiations "on the premise that the issue of
lifting financial sanctions will be discussed and settled between the (North) and
the U.S. within the framework of the six-party talks."
