We've Got 'Em The North Korean goverment has threatened to "bolster its nuclear weapons arsenal." It is a well known secret that as a charter member of the
axis-of-evil, North Korea has an active program to enrich nuclear fuel.

Here are two thoughtful pieces on the North Korean Crisis.
From Foreign Affairs comes
How to Deal With North Korea.
From the New York Times comes
Q&A: Should U.S. Launch Direct Talks with North Korea?Here, by the way, is the fourth footnote from
How to Deal With North Korea :

Proliferation 101: North Korea, included in the Bush Administration's "Axis of Evil" (and cited as a potential target for US attack), revives it's nuclear weapons program. And while the US has stated " 'We will not permit the world's most dangerous regimes and terrorists to threaten us with the world's most destructive weapons.'... there is no sign that this new unconditional doctrine will be directed against North Korea."
