A bit back Doug write: "NK violated the accord of 1994 in which in exchange for our providing them nuclear materials, money, and other materials for domestic use, they used it instead for their weapons program."

Well actually it was the USA violated that accord, when it failed to come up with the help that was promised as part of the deal, to enable a civil nuclear power programme; in return for which the Koreans agreed to cancel their own nuclear development programme.

Not that I'm keen on civil nuclear power myself, but that was the agreement, and it was the USA that ratted on it.
