North Korea Says Talks with U.S. Are Pointless

[burnedout]

Meanwhile, the White House shrugs off N. Korea comments

Shame--there is no workable solution--they are part of the Axis of Evil--lets invade!

I don't really believe that there is anything short of a "regime change" that we can do to prevent NK from getting nuclear weapons. If a leader wants something bad enough and has teh people with the brains to get it for him, it will eventually happen. Talk is just that, talk. They will continue to lie and deceive whoever happens to be President. It is China's problem as far as I'm concerned. Let them deal with it. If they can work something out with NK then maybe we can help.

We have our plate full now with more then we can handle and we need to concentrate out getting our people out of Iraq and chalk that one up to experience. Hopefully we will never invade another country with out the world's communities support again.

Our current foreign policy is a mess right now and there is only one man to blame. Let's send him down the road before it's too late. If there is an "evil empire" in the world right now, it is us.

It kinda ironic for NK to make those comment because many people here actually think the same about talking to them... it's pointless. It just that they have this little dirty secret: they actually have and developing more WMD, which of course is what preventing us from bombing the sh1t out of them. I believe in reality No Dems or Reps president will do anything about them (don't believe whatever any president or candidates are telling you, it's mostly for political consumption, and yes, that including Bush) until their dictatorship run its course and they either violently erupted internally or peacufully integrate with SK.
Of course if they ever sold their nuke weapon to OBL and it hit us, all bets are off.

Whats the point of talking to N Korea?? Clinton and Madame Bright believed every word that Mr. Ill said.

Look where we are now,,,,,,,, N Korea with nuke weapons. No point in talking to lieing dictators

Yeh, the DPRK is the all-purpose boogeyman. First the Clinton Admin dragged their feet shamelessly on implementing the agreed upon framework, then the Bush Admin welched entirely, accused them of violating it, and of having nukes, anyway, something the DPRK has never actually admitted. Then whap them on the short list, the Axis of Evil, and think they'll do something other than pursue nuclear ambitions, or at least make a show of it?

Shee-it, Sherlock, most of the knee-jerk right fringe posters in this thread would be just as rabidly Pro-Kim if they'd been raised in that propaganda environment, rather than the one furnished by our own radical right...

Remember what Cheney said about the DPRK- "We don't negotiate with Evil, we destroy it." Anybody here suggesting that the Admin's actual stance is any different from that, or how the NKoreans could have possibly misinterpreted it?

And the ROK can't be too thrilled with the Bushies, who are apparently trying to start a war wherein the ROK would take a few hundred thousand dead the first day... with their Capital destroyed, US troops lending air and logistical support, after we start the shooting, attacking pre-emptively...

Neocon policy demands the existence of foreign enemies, at least of the paper tiger variety. It brings on that good old "Us against Them" feeling of which they're so fond, and distracts the electorate from the fact that they're being robbed blind, future generations sold into tax slavery to feed the rich today...

Bush wanted NMD all along, one of the Admin's goals even before the election. How to get there? Radicalize the DPRK, paint 'em into a corner. Their reaction is highly predictable, and just what was intended... Voila, NMD... and voila, another boogeyman...

That is exactly right. That is why we have to have an "axis of evil". We are so powerful that no one country can challange us. If it weren't these countries it would be some others that don't agree with us.
The tighter we squeeze our grip, the more countries that will slip thru our fingers. I think the current foreign policy show that to be true.
