Ah, no, the Carnegie Foundation. Anyway, assuming with his Hennessey intake that he's capable of one, their suggestion has got to be Kim Jong Il's fantasy wet dream. The ROKs already have been palying this game with the NORKs since the early '60s. It got transformed into something very like CTR when Kim "I bought won the Nobel" Dae Jung went to Pyongyang with his arms laden with tribute, and its picked up pace under The Great Pretender and the Roh-Nothings. The US and Japan joined the effort for awhile with the '94 Accords promise of LWRs. The United Ninnies contributed tons of food. Where are the dividends in real threat reduction from the North - not momentary suspensions of preposterous rhetoric, but weapons dismantled, dividions disbanded, etc. etc.? Why would anyone believe that the NORKS are going to do anything remotely reciprcal other than the sheer pollyanish wish that they will? Seriously, I will dutifully follow the train of their argument to the end, but I expect the dstination to be the land of academic futility.
