They just missed the word "programs." If the DPRK had no nuclear weapons programs, the US would have no reason to attack it. Or do you think that if Iraq had cooperated with the UNSC resolutions that the US would have attacked it anyways? Or do you believe that even if the DPRK opened itself up to verifiable nuclear weapons inspections that the US would be likely to attack it? And if you don't believe any of these things, what exactly is the satire again? JDG _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
