| N Korea sets terms for US talks |
| 2002-10-25 |
| North Korea says it is willing to address American concerns over its nuclear weapons programme, if Washington agrees to a non-aggression treaty. A Foreign Ministry statement, released by the state-run KCNA news agency, said Pyongyang was willing to make a deal with the US if it recognised North Korea's sovereignty and did not hinder its economic development. But the ministry rejected US demands that it dismantle the nuclear programme. Then let them eat nukes. We have nothing to talk about. "The US and its followers assert that negotiations should be held after the DPRK (North Korea) puts down its arms - this is very abnormal logic," the Foreign Ministry statement said. "How can the DPRK counter any attack with empty hands? Their assertion is little short of demanding the DPRK yield to pressure, which means death." They're operating under the delusion that they're important enough for us to worry about at this moment. How does it feel, I wonder, for a dictator with grandiose ambitions to be dismissed as a minor irritation? |
