U.S. Refuses One-On-One North Korea Talks

My Way News: "'It's not an issue between North Korea and the United States. It's a regional issue,' White House press secretary Scott McClellan said. 'And it's an issue that impacts all of its neighbors.' North Korea has plenty of opportunity to talk to the United States within six-party talks, McClellan said. In an interview with a South Korean newspaper Friday, North Korea's U.N. envoy demanded bilateral talks with the United States. 'We will return to the six-nation talks when we see a reason to do so and the conditions are ripe,' Han Sung Ryol told Seoul's Hankyoreh newspaper in an interview published Friday. 'If the United States moves to have direct dialogue with us, we can take that as a signal that the United States is changing its hostile policy toward us.' U.S. officials believe North Korea, which is seeking bilateral talks with the United States, may have from four to two dozen nuclear devices, depending on the assumptions used about the bombs' designs." So why should the talks stop just because North Korea refuses to take part? We should continue the discussion of what to do with North Korea even if they refuse to take part. We should not allow them power in this by stopping the negotiations. We should continue discussing with the other members how to handle North Korea. Everybody knows that they are going to drop a nuke on us if we don't stop them. The only question is how many Americans are willing to die to prevent that and is that enough to stop them.
