Title: 25 yrs ago
Post by WebsterMark on 06/12/18 at 17:43:11

Tradition holds that such agreements are met with at least respectful coverage in the American media. For example, early in President Bill Clinton’s term the U.S. reached a similar agreement with North Korea’s communist dictatorship.
Twenty-five years ago today, the New York Times published an editorial called, “To Assure a Nuclear-Free Korea.” Given that Mr. Trump was in Singapore this week trying to persuade North Korea to dismantle its nuclear weapons program, it’s fair to say that the hopes invested by Times folk in the Clinton deal were not exactly realized. But back in 1993, the newspaper’s editorial board expressed admiration for officials in both the American and North Korean governments :
Deft diplomacy by the Clinton Administration has coaxed North Korea back from the brink. The North had threatened to bolt from the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty and build nuclear arms. It will now allow routine international inspections of its nuclear sites.
Gaining access to its nuclear waste sites will require further negotiation; that could provide more evidence of how much plutonium North Korea might already have produced. But the resumption of routine inspections is a critical first step toward assuring that the Korean Peninsula is truly nuclear-free.
The agreement is a tribute to sensible officials in Pyongyang who chose the path to prosperity over the road to ruin. It’s also a tribute to cool heads in Washington who refused to overreact to North Korea’s bizarre bargaining behavior.
Along with the tip of the cap to the “sensible officials in Pyongyang,” the Times went on to describe U.S. military exercises with our friends in democratic South Korea as “needlessly provocative.” Of course time would reveal that Washington’s cool heads had wildly underreacted.

Another ‘blast from the past’.

"Franklin D. Roosevelt, who I don’t think anyone would classify as a conservative, turned away a ship carrying German Jewish people fleeing extermination. Why? Because a German spy – a single German spy – was caught masquerading as a refugee.”

that agreement was 4 pages long, they thought it was sufficiently detailed to achieve it's stated goals.

The Trump deal, so far, is 500 words, with no enforcement or even clearly defined goals or deadlines.....

I do hope the Trump deal pans out, cause right now, NK is ahead, they've gotten a lot for nothing
