From New York Times article: North Korea recently disclosed that it has a program to make nuclear weapons from highly enriched uranium, in violation of its international agreements, but the United States has taken pains to defuse any sense that it is planning an immediate confrontation over the issue. That policy is in contrast to the administration's approach with Iraq, where the Bush administration has threatened military action to disarm President Saddam Hussein if he does not voluntarily dispose of any weapons of mass destruction. How true. Why aren't we relentlessly inspecting North Korea's nuclear facilities as well? Is it because there isn't a history of terrorism in southest Asia?
