#2 earlier today, the Nork's demolished one of the most important symbols of their Nuke program, a cooling tower at a Plutonium production site.

Obviously this is only one more step. But its a BIG STEP.

Credit should (but won't) go to the geeky nuke experts in the Bush Admin who kept at this. Also, to be honest, some credit goes to the Chicoms who refused to suppose continued delay by the Norks.

#3 The key to success here is like for the vaccuum cleaner salesman. Just get your foot in the door, any way you can. Previously, we've let the baby panda maintain his status as absolute doorkeeper. Bush's nuclear geeks seem to have opened the door a crack. That's better than anyone else has done. I agree that it's very early to start the high fives, but it's also too early to scoff it to death.

#4 #3 is prob correct but 2008-2012 is going to be a fickle time for all concerned [World].

Lest we fergit, NOKOR's NUCLEAR KIMCHEE/RICE BOWL ALSO POINTS AGZ CHINA + RUSSIA as the NOKOR's right now can be ascribed as "ASIA'S PALESTINIANS" LOOKING FOR THEIR WAY IN THE WORLD. THeir people and land stands to get wiped out no matter what what major war scenario occurs on andor around the Korean Peninsula.

*OTOH, see also TOPIX > NORTH KOREA'S NUCLEAR DECLARATION: THE MOTHER OF ALL SUCKER DEALS?

VARI NETTERS > worry that, as similar to UNIAEA = EL BARADEI's recent comments on IRAN only needing six months to dev a NucBomb + any POST-ISRAELI ATTACK RETALIATORY NUCDEV OPTIONS, IFF NEW DECLARATION PROCESS FAILS > NOKOR WILL HAVE AN EXCUSE TO FOCUS ON RAPID EXTENSIVE DEV OF POST-URANIUM NUCTECHS = ADVANCED WMDS???
