U.S. rejects treaty with N. Korea
2002-12-17
The United States says it had no intention of attacking North Korea but has rejected Pyongyang's call for negotiations on a nonaggression pact, saying North Korea must first take concrete steps to end its nuclear weapons program.
They're making the assumption they're important enough to have a nonaggression pact with.
U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell called Monday for North Korea to reconsider its decision to resume its nuclear fuel program and to reopen nuclear power facilities it had agreed to shut. Speaking to reporters after talks at the State Department with Japan's foreign and defense ministers, Powell called North Korea's move, announced December 12, "a regrettable step backward."
That's the way diplomats say "Those bastards are all crazy."

#1  This is too funny.

After having entered into an agreement previously regarding their nuclear weapons program, and admitted to having violated said agreement, the North Koreans want the U.S. to consider entering into some other agreement?

No thanks.
