North Korean Success Model for Dealing with Iran

Why is that we are getting results negotiating with an "axis of evil" country like North Korea? Why not negotiate with Iran? The answer is simple. The neocons want to install puppet regimes in the Middle East so that they can control the region:

A second team of U.N. nuclear experts arrived in North Korea on Saturday to monitor the shutdown and sealing of the country's sole plutonium-producing reactor.

The six experts from the International Atomic Energy Agency will replace an initial team that went to North Korea on July 12 to supervise the shutdown of the Yongbyon reactor, the key component of the North's nuclear program.

The IAEA confirmed last week that North Korea had shut down its sole functioning reactor at Yongbyon -- the first tangible progress after years of negotiations between the communist regime and five other countries.

I'm surprized Barack Obama hasn't pointed out this example in response to Billary's "naive" comment. It is also astonishing that no one else has pointed out the success that has been achieved through negotiations vis a vis North Korea. No one. Its almost as if the neocons control the debate. And once again the press fails to shed to light on problems:

Officials said the team would put agency seals on parts of the complex that have been closed and supervise the installation of surveillance cameras, whose recordings will be regularly downloaded and analyzed.

IAEA inspectors also are working to verify the status of two unfinished reactors, a spent fuel reprocessing facility and a fuel fabrication plant.

The North exploded a test nuclear weapon in October, but four months later agreed to scrap its nuclear program in exchange for economic and political concessions in a deal with the U.S., Russia, China, Japan and South Korea.

It will eventually receive the equivalent of a total of 1 million tons for disabling its nuclear facilities under a February agreement with the five countries.

North Korea has begun receiving 50,000 tons of oil from South Korea as a reward for shutting down Yongbyon, which is located 60 miles north of Pyongyang.
