I'm sure they will honor it just as much as they did the last time they agreed to suspend enrichment.

There's a new sheriff in town so you never know. I don't see there being a dramatic shift in NK's policies.

I'd argue the new one is weaker than the one in town the last time they agreed to this. (Clinton).

But I agree, I see no reason to believe they'll actually stop.

This is the culmination of the agreement reached during the "six party talks" of 05-06 (Bush) Bill Clinton was long gone by then and so were his budget surpluses

No, This is the culmination of the death of Kim Jong ill. We are going back to the carrot and stick policies. Didn't work before, most likely won't work now, but anything is worth the efort at this point.

Why would Iran ever want nuclear weapons? All you get is aid and security.

They're so in the hole, they can't even feed the dictator/police force.

So the abridged version is ... they do nothing, and in exchange we take money from the poor people in this country and give it to the dictator of another country to spend on himself and his cronies. In other words, Mubarak 2.0.

What an absolutely ****ing nuts foreign policy we have.
