DPRK Forum

This is an older article, but is interesting anyway.

Since the article was written, some other developments have taken place such as the rumors of North Korea getting off the terror list. While Washington denies it right now, chances are, once everything is said and done, it will happen (Unless Pyongyang does something to stop the process, which has happened before). I hope it will not be taken off the list because of the other things North Korea has done (along with other things we may not know about). I do not hear anything about those things, and I have no idea the bombing of the South Korean jetliner killing hundreds of innocent people had a statute of limitations. Whatever the case may be, North Korea wants to be off the list and is causing a lot of ruckus particularly with Japan. I do not blame them.

This article points out why America does not care about North Korea in general, other than when its interests are directly threatened. I partially disagree with that, because other countries in the region directly affect Washington’s interests such as diplomatic ties and overall stability in the region which is why the talks are taking place in the first place.

This article should incite good discussion, even though I fundamentally disagree with a lot of it other than most people I know around me do not either know or care about North Korea.
