cavanami Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 How does this suddenly happen? Has North Korea stopped starving its people? How about the inhuman prison there? How about all the terrible things that were reported to be going on there? All that stopped and they are now good guys??? or is this just all a bunch of bull... http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080626/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_nkorea President Bush said Thursday he will lift key trade sanctions against North Korea and remove it from the U.S. terrorism blacklist, a remarkable turnaround in policy toward the communist regime he once branded as part of an "axis of evil." ADVERTISEMENT The announcement came after North Korea handed over a long-awaited accounting of its nuclear work to Chinese officials on Thursday, fulfilling a key step in the denuclearization process. Bush said the move was "a step closer in the right direction" although he made clear the United States remains suspicious about the communist regime in Pyongyang.

Bangkoktraveler Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Lift sanctions against North Korea so he can devote his time toward Iraq; sounds about right. North Korea still not off the hook; Bush will be back for them before he leaves office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not completely rehabilitated. Probably a similar status to Cuba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
