Actually, Claymore, I thought the treaty that was negoitiated between the US and NK during the Clinton administration was signed in 1994, but I may be confusing that with a treaty that was igned where NK agreed to not pursue nuclear weapons in exchange for help with other technologies and oil form the US so that NK could produce electricty for its people. As has been reported recently, the US started reniging on its end of the agreement under the current administration and in the "Axis of Evil" speech sent out a clear message that NK was on the list of nations to get "whacked".

What I can't understand is when the president of the world's only super power stands u8p before the entire world and pretty much tells the ent9ire world that you are on the "to-be-whacked" list that this same president gets real angry when he finds these countries scurrying around trying to find ways to defend themselves? Hmmmmmm?
It's kinda like a guy has a big gun and wants to mug you but he knows you have a small gun so he demands that you give him your small gun? Like I said, hmmmmmmm?
