    I can't believe we are that stupid to think these people will ever honor anything they say! :angry:

    Boy you can sure say that again!

    Whattsat?

    Oh, I thought you were referring to the Bush administration. Now there's a crowd that has so thoroughly eviscerated its own credibility in virtually its every utterance I seriously wonder why anyone continues to listen to them, or to ask them any question. I suppose political decorum requires it, but it's a hollow exercise.

    It's all just politics. It has nothing to do with terrorism and never did. The U.S. has always been palsy-walsy with terrorists, as long as they are right-wing terrorists. For whatever political reason, the U.S. administration has decided it wants to be friends with N. Korea. It has nothing to do with believing the North Koreans, and everything to do with changing political alliances.

    But I agree with you that the Bush administration is stupid.

    Lets see... how easy is it to put someone on the list and take them off? For North Korea, it seems to me that it's only 11 keystrokes. What do we gain?

    Seems to me that certain people on this board have been screaming about them having nuclear capabilities, and now that a resolution has been reached, it's not enough for you?

    N. Korea says it's off the U.S. terror list. It's a good bet that anything N. Korea says is a lie. But Washington says N. Korea is not off the terror list, and it's an equally-good bet that anything Washington says is a lie. So where does that leave us? It's a real quandary: When two pathological liars contradict each other, who do you disbelieve more? Of course, the list is pretty pointless anyway: most governments practice terrorism, including the U.S. and N. Korea. The U.S. terrorism list is just so we can know which terrorists the U.S. wants us to think it's not supporting this week.

    It's actually an unattributed Russian proverb that's likely much older than Lenin.

    It's been most recently well-known to be used (repeatedly) by none other than Reagan. He used it so much that Gorbachav eventually got sick of it and told him so.

    Kow, it looks like you took their bait and trusted what "those people" said! ;) Maybe next time we should wait for word from the mouth of someone other than North Korea before jumping to conclusions.

    And for those of us non-pinko-commie-bastards who don't speak or read Ruski, translation please? :D

    p.s. never mind... I copied and pasted into google and it said what I said, hehe:
