U.S. team to begin disabling North Korean nuclear plant

November 1, 2007 · Filed Under World News, nuclear weapons

U.S. technicians are likely to begin dismantling by the end of this week North Korea’s nuclear complex, which makes weapons-grade plutonium.

Christopher Hill, the top U.S. envoy to six-way talks to end Pyongyang’s nuclear arms program, said the U.S. team had “a specific list of measures” and would arrive at the nuclear complex to begin the dismantling process on Friday or Saturday.

Following lengthy six-party talks in Beijing involving North and South Korea, the United States, Japan, Russia and China, Pyongyang agreed that by the end of 2007 it would have disabled its main nuclear facilities.

North Korea is seen as a threat to the world. The question is how do we stop them and should we (the U.S) stop them? This may be a wishful thought but I hope the people of North Korea could revolt. Something like Estonia’s Singing Revolution may be a way to deal with this. I just saw a website about it – http://singingrevolution.com
