Breakthrough?

Well I was all set to write about the breakthrough in negotiations with North Korea, but then I saw this:

North Korea says no disarmament without light-water reactor
"North Korea said that it would not dismantle its nuclear arms programme until the US provides it with a light-water reactor to generate electricity, one day after agreeing to disarm in return for pledges of aid and security.

The statement dented hopes of progress towards ridding the Korean peninsula of nuclear weapons less than 24 hours after the biggest breakthrough in two years of six-party talks."
Well here's hoping they can figure out a way to work this out. But after the North Koreans made a similar demand last month that broke down talks.
"A joint statement issued by the six nations -- North and
South Korea, the United States, China, Japan and Russia -- said the other five countries would respect Pyongyang's demand for a light-water reactor and discuss it at 'an appropriate time'.

But the foreign ministry spokesman said that North Korea, a self-avowed nuclear power, would only disarm and return to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) when it gets the reactor."
Well I don't know much about it, but it seems to me that maybe we should give them a light water reactor. It seems like extortion to me, but if this will actually get them to destroy their nuclear weapons, then ok maybe we should do it.

We could always just bomb them to hell with our nukes. That would be ironic wouldn't it? Eh I don't know maybe not.

Lets bomb France instead, ah yeah.
