 Sun Mar 06, 2005 2:38 pm North Korea returning to nuke talks |

| Quote: | China: N. Korea willing to return to nuke talks
Unclear whether Pyongyang attaches any conditions
The Associated Press
Updated: 5:29 a.m. ET March 6, 2005
BEIJING - North Korean leaders told China they are ready to resume six-nation nuclear talks, the Chinese foreign minister said Sunday, but he didn�t say whether Pyongyang attached any conditions.
China has been trying to arrange new talks on the North�s nuclear program. Pyongyang announced Feb. 10 that it had produced nuclear weapons and had no interest in returning to the disarmament talks.
Responding to a message from Chinese President Hu Jintao, the North Korean leadership said it �remained ready and willing to continue to participate in the six-party talks,� Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing said.
Speaking at a news conference, Li didn�t say when China received the message, and he didn�t respond when asked whether the North attached conditions. Hu�s message would have been addressed to North Korean leader Kim Jong Il, but Li didn�t mention him by name as the source of the reply.
Li appealed to Washington and Pyongyang to show flexibility, and said North Korea�s �legitimate concerns should be addressed.�
The foreign minister didn�t answer directly when asked whether China, the impoverished North�s main aid donor, might consider withholding oil or other assistance in order to compel the North to return to talks.
Instead, Li said that as the main parties in the dispute, the United States and North Korea should �gradually increase their mutual trust and mutual understanding.�
North blames U.S. 'hostile policy'
On Wednesday, the North called on Washington to drop its �hostile policy� and threatened to resume long-range missile tests if its demands weren�t met.
The nuclear dispute erupted in late 2003 when Washington said North Korean officials had admitted running a nuclear program in violation of an agreement that gave the North oil in exchange for scrapping nuclear development.
Participants in the talks � which also include Japan, Russia and South Korea � missed a September deadline to hold their latest round after Kim�s government refused to take part.
On Saturday, a lower-level Chinese foreign ministry official was quoted by state media as recommending that the United States and North Korea meet one-on-one � a tactic that Washington has rejected.
U.S. officials say the problem is regional and requires a multinational settlement.
Li also said he did not know whether the North had nuclear weapons or a uranium enrichment program to produce them, telling a reporter, �I don�t know any more than you do.�

No, he is TRULY evil, and my gosh, you do not KNOW me at all! You are making TRULY hasty generalizations! Kim Jong Il IS evil, and it is NOT because I "disagree with him."

Yes. It is difficult when you have to negotiate with an evil man.

Have I had a chat with Hitler, Osama, or Saddam? NO, but I can make a judgment about this, based on their policies.

Maybe not. Look around the Middle East, what Bush's policies have lead to.
1) Democracy supporters gaining power in Lybia
2) Saudi Arabia opening elections up broader
3) Iraq and Afgahnistan are now free nations with democracy
4) Egypt has now been opened to a multi-party system for the elections
5) Palistinian territories have had elections.
And there's MORE on the way, and this is resulting from Bush's policies--and if you can't see that, then frankly you can't see the truth. Even New Mexico Democratic governor Richardson has said this--and on Good Morning America, no less.
Actually, this could turn out to be one of the GREATEST FOREIGN POLICY SUCCESSES in American history. No one should be ashamed of that.

Hitler unified Germany and pulled the nation out of the Great Depression. I'd call that a good thing. Dictators are particularly efficient at that.
