Lil Kimmie must be running low on cognac.... or just a little "ronery".

Anytime NK makes an about face and starts being nice to SK and the US, you have to wonder what they have up there sleeve.

It wouldn't hurt for the envoys to go, but just don't promise NK anything until they honor the past agreements.

North korean up tensions,now they zero tensions. Guess this is the way to up peace. Kim dae jung tried sunshine policies but it did no satisfy.

What is next policies for 2 koreas. Karl Marx and West is the problem here.

Replacing obsolete Karl Marx philosophy, with new free trade reform marxism of China,is the way forward .

Progress can be made via North koreans ignoring 1 inch of defect of USA/Japan/South korea.

There should be more mention of the 9 inch of good in USA/Japan/South Korea/others.

North korea also has its own, 1 inch of defect.

We are all human and are made of flesh and bone .

We all make mistakes of the flesh/bone and have 1 inch of defects in our ways.

We should focus on the 9 inch of goodness in humanity to progress,while at the same forgive the 1 inch of defect in all of us.

We are not immortal,so highly unlikely that we have no defects at all,but quest for perfection should continue by all means in all nations.

So far, there's been 99 inches of defect and 1 inch of good coming from NK...

We've let NK blackmail the world long enough. We'll give them peace talks, but no more support whatsoever until the country changes. Enough is enough. 50 years too long.

The only position where NK has leverage is the nuclear program. What NK wants to do, since Kim Jong Il will be passing on the leadership to somebody else soon, is to have survival and preservation of their system and they will continue to sacrifice their own people, if they cannot get it their way. NK desperately needs econmics assistance from the outside. For NK to open a dialgue with U.S. is a major step to reducing tension and eventully leading to 6 party discussion on the framework of peaceful resolution.

I wonder what President Obama will end up apologizing to Kim Jong Il for? Whatever it is, it won't keep Obama from getting taken to the cleaners by the Dear Leader.

North korea will invite Obama administration, it is like the Clinton/Albright

administration.

Being closer buddies with Obama administration/Clinton/madeleine albright is easier than with GWB administration.
