in clintons day the agreement was that they would be given light water reactors. In return the north would stop any nuclear weapons development. At that time they were still part of the non proliferation treaty. The americans found out they were circumventing the agreement, and halted the deal in turn. The north cant even feed their own people. The govt. kills or imprisons entire families for one persons alleged crime(many politically motivated) There is no electric power in practically the entire country. And now they want the west to give them power? So the can continue to enslve their peopple for more years to come....I think not!!! There is a mindset in the communist north that is clearly visible to many ynet readers. It is a blame game to try and shift attention from the real problems. "Japan is creating a crisis"....cmon now...if kimlildong hadnt been kidnapping japanese people over the years, the japs would probably give him aid. But the aid the north does get goes straight into the pockets of kimies little buddies, and his military. Every pledge made by the murderer Kim has been broken over the years. He is a pyschopathic megalomanic who has stayed in power after his fathers death by continuing the cult worship brainwashing techniques created by daddy dearest. This mass murdering thug should be put on trial before the world as the maniac that he is, and not bribed one more time to shut up for a while longer. The price to pay may be high, but the price to pay later may be astronomical
