North Korea agreed Sunday to account for and disable its atomic programs by the end of the year, offering its first timeline for a process long sought by nuclear negotiators, the chief U.S. envoy said.

The things I find interesting in this article is in the above quote from the American side...a firm end of year 2007 is given, but in he following quote from the N. Korean side...

"Kim Gye Gwan, head of the North Korean delegation, said separately his country's willingness to cooperate was clear—in return for "political and economic compensation"—but he mentioned no dates."

I really wonder if when the guys get together for talks do they do just that?...no one really listening to the other side?...

it seems they both come out of the same meeting having attended different meetings...or one would be lead to believe this is the case given their individula statements.

It's always the same, the U.S. side says disarm before we get serious in the talks, and N. Korea wants concessions from western economies before they will talk seriously.

In the end nothing happens...

I have a question will N Korea hand over it nuclear weapons with this deal? Or only its ability to make more?

Thats a great question, and the one that seems hardest to answer...seems every couple of years we go through this excersise.

N. Korea and the U.S. hurl insults at each other, a few questionable "show" maneuvers are made on both sides...silence, followed by tense talks, then more friendly talks, and finally both sides come out with seperate statements...with examples of concessions of which neither side will abide.

IMO, no N. Korea will not give up anything they currently posses, and won't give up any production technology that is not already outmoded.

The great President Bush’s genius is now starting unfold with the disarmament of North Korea’s nuke program, and soon to follow the stabilization of Iraq, and finally the stabilization of the entire region.

You know if all that really did happen, and I genuinely hope it does, pundits and historians would have to rewrite the books.

His detractors alternately paint him as the...

Inspector Clusea of the political world, well intentioned and blundering, and yet getting it right in the end.

and

the incarnation of Nixon, Hitler, and Ghengis Kahn all rolled into one.

history will tell...
