After testing nuclear bomb in 2006 Bush administration to lift North Korea sanctions

I wonder if Iran is paying attention to all this?

WASHINGTON — The Bush administration today will lift some trade sanctions against North Korea and move to take it off the U.S. terrorism blacklist — a remarkable turnaround in policy toward the communist regime, which President Bush once branded as part of an “axis of evil.” snip

What’s not in the declaration is as important as what it includes.

It won’t illuminate North Korea’s suspected program of developing weapons fueled by enriched uranium. As a result of the six-nation nuclear talks, the North has stopped making plutonium and begun disabling its nuclear facilities, but it still has a stockpile of radioactive material that experts believe is enough to build from six to 10 bombs.

The North proved it could build a working nuclear bomb when it carried out an underground nuclear test blast in October 2006. Details on the bombs, however, will be left to the next stage of the talks, when Pyongyang is supposed to abandon all its nuclear weapons program.

What happened to the "Axis of Evil"?

He looks like hell too.

I bet North Korea agreed to let U.S. companies set up sweatshops. It already allows a few South Korean companies come in and use North Koreans as cheap labor.
