| [Kyodo: Korea] Stephen Bosworth, the U.S. special representative for North Korea policy, expressed willingness Tuesday to consider holding direct talks with North Korea when necessary, a Japanese lawmaker said. Bosworth signaled the stance during a meeting with Seiji Maehara, a vice president of JapanŽs main opposition Democratic Party of Japan, after North Korea ordered U.S. nuclear experts engaging in disablement of nuclear facilities in Yongbyon and U.N. nuclear agency staff monitoring the work to leave the country, Maehara told reporters. |

| #3 What's to talk about? Cut off the money, stick out your tongue and leave. No talk needed. |

| #2 OK, I admit I haven't followed this as closely as I should, but are we responding to the latest clumsy provocation by the Norks with an immediate concession and show of weakness? That's what it sounds like. Sheesh. Collapse on the Iran front, continuation/worsening of the Bush collapse on the Nork front. With these idiots in power in Washington, Hirohito would have easily have secured conditional surrender (keeping Manchukuo, the Marianas, and Indochina) after Iwo. Maybe after Saipan. |
