More like the government officials will get more whilst the commoner continues to live in abject poverty all the while being brainwashed that only the Pyongyang government is the only one who is “looking out for them.”

In other words, a dramatic, made-for-TV kaboom followed by more of the same in NK

World Bank Loans, lifting of trade sanctions. In return for: promises, plans, agreements, blowing up a defunct cooling tower. Sounds like a good deal (for them). I'll bet Bush's advisors told him, "but Mr. President, when they blow this thing up, it will be on every news channel and every front page!" what does N Korea get?

Especially since North Korea was one of the only things I really agreed with in the Bush foreign policy. But then again, we did have 2 wars against England and then suddenly became their ally and fought in 2 world wars besides them... so this isn't surprising in the least. (for those wanting to look into it, look at the help we gave Iraq in the middle of the 20th century, then you'll see how the process really works) Seriously, I wish the government would take a stance and stick with it.
