Summary:
North Korea announced that they had stopped disabling of nuclear facilities. North Korea and United States made an agreement to disable nuclear facilities in 2007. At that time, North Korea promised that they will give up the nuclear weaponry, and United States promised that they will take the North Korea off a terrorism blacklist. However, about two weeks ago, United States announced that deletion of the North Korea in a terrorism blacklist will be implemented at possible time; in other words, United States needed more certain evidence of disabling the nuclear facilities in the North Korea. The North Korea has had a difficulty in economy, so they want to give assistances; however it is impossible before deletion in a terrorism blacklist. The North Korea might have made an appointment with United States for economic assistances and many experts are forecasting that the North Korea will not give up the nuclear weaponry.

My Opinion:
This is serious problem in South Korea as well as United States, especially the Bush administration. The denuclearization in Korea has become a big controversy since the North Korea announced that they were making the nuclear weaponry. However, they have undergone many economic problems; for example, many people are dying because of starvation, and many people in the North Korea started distrusting their system, communism, so the North Korea might have been threatened about collapse of their system; as a result, the North Korea made an agreement with United States for economic assistances. I think that the North Korea have perfectly acted that as if they really wanted to make a good relationship with United States. I studied politics and diplomacy when I was freshman in university. I am sure that this is diplomacy of the North Korea. They always have two faces. Perhaps, the North Korea might thought that they have a decision because the Bush administration have a not enough time, but they want to get a good effect within their session. Therefore the Bush administration doesn’t have to be pulled to their diplomacy. Although the Bush administration is remaining several months, they have to predict a situation in the future, and don’t forget that the nuclear is only hope and a weapon which they have, so they will not easily give up their hope.
