| N. Korea Seeks Compromise on Nukes |
| 2002-10-26 |
| Wrapping an offer in fiery rhetoric, North Korea said it was ready to cool tensions set off by the discovery of its nuclear program if Washington recognized the isolated nation's sovereignty and allowed it to flourish. When did we start giving a fart whether North Korea flourished or not? Dear Leader can rule his peasants and lackeys until he dies of old age in office, just like Great Leader did, and some other relative can take over. Let them enjoy their "sovereignty" and don't give them any of our tax dollars. Spend the money on more important things, like hard liquor and loose wimmin... Delivering the statement by his Foreign Ministry, Ambassador Pak Gil Yon on Friday charged the White House with preparing a pre-emptive strike against North Korea by including it in the "axis of evil," along with Iraq and Iran. "This is a clear declaration of war," Pak said. Sounds more like a clear definition of the problem... Even so, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea wants a "nonaggression treaty" with the United States, he said. In a rare news conference, he expressed hope that a series of contacts between the two governments would continue. Yeah, buddy! Those "nonaggression treaties" work pretty well, don't they? Hitler and Stalin used to have one... He spoke shortly before President Bush and Chinese President Jiang Zemin, meeting in Crawford, Texas, said they both oppose nuclear weapons on the Korean peninsula and pledged to seek a peaceful resolution of the crisis set off by North Korea's assertion that it is developing such weapons. Bush said he wanted to work with China, South Korea, Japan and Russia to come up with a common strategy to convince North Korean leader Kim Jong Il to disarm. Good idea. Dump the problem on them. They want to be regional powers, let them solve the problem... But Pak charged the United States with stockpiling nuclear weapons in South Korea that have threatened the North for nearly half a century. As a result, Pak said, North Korea "was left with no other proper answer to the U.S. behaving so arrogantly and impertinently." I love it when we're "impertinent." It makes me feel so... so... hegemonistic! |
