Starting to get irritated at the MSM stating "Now that North Korea has Nukes." The US government has been saying that they likely have had them for a while now.
As for the one-on-one talks between the US and DPRK, I think the Bush administration is doing the right thing by saying no. I think it would be much better to get China, South Korea, Japan and Russia into the negotiations, mainly because the major regional muscle needs to have a say in what happens. Not to mention the rubbish with the one-on-one negotiations in the 1990's whose terms were so quickly violated by North Korea.
The DPRK press organ has wonderful quotes too:
My fear for all of this comes down to having a country with nuclear capability which is run by people that may not understand, or care, the concept of MAD (Mutual Assured Destruction). MAD doesn't work on both sides in this case though. They may have the ability to hit some of our allies at the moment, and maybe even the continental US in the next decade or so, but we have the ability NOW to burn them into a glassified crater. Not to mention our ability to do that without nuclear weapons. But, failing to understand that their actions places them in a path of a "hyper-power" would mean needless deaths to us and assured destruction to them.

I just would like someone to ask these guys a single question. If our intenet was invading and dominating other countries for world domination, why haven't we already crushed DPRK? Think about that. If America's intent is only a global order of domination, then our military might would easily serve us in destroying the especially dangerous countries. And, politically, by taking on countries that are especially disruptive in any one region, political consequences could easily be deflected.Keeping up its propaganda offensive, North Korea accused Washington Saturday of invading independent countries to achieve global dominance.
"It is an invariable ambition of the U.S. to invade the DPRK (North Korea) and dominate Asia with the Korean Peninsula as a springboard, and establish a global order of its domination," the ruling party newspaper, Rodong Sinmun, said.
"The U.S. talk about peace and human rights is nothing but a slogan for invading and dominating other countries and a subterfuge to cover up its criminal nature."
