DOES THIS SOUND LIKE A REGIME THAT IS AFRAID OF BUSH'S HARD-LINE?
North Korea said today that it would refuse to allow foreign experts into the country to verify that American fuel supplies were being used for peaceful purposes.

On Thursday, North Korea said the 1994 agreement to prevent it from producing nuclear weapons had collapsed. It accused the United States of destroying the pact, known as the Agreed Framework. Under the agreement, experts are allowed to verify that shipments of fuel oil to North Korea are used only for peaceful purposes.
I think the powers that be in the DPRK recognize that Bush is not going to threaten war until after Iraq is settled. Thus, they feel free to prevaricate, resist and otherwise make non-proliferation in the DPRK impossible.
