Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid
And the Leftists are silent.
North Korea’s Nukes: Will the Free World Ever Learn? Communists cannot be trusted By D.J. McGuire China e-Lobby http://www.geocities.com/china_e_lobby/ Jul 29, 2005 Another round of talks on Stalinist North Korea’s nuclear weapons began July 26 in Beijing, and unlike the previous three rounds, they opened with soft words, an open-ended timetable, and an outward determination on the part of all involved—the United States, the Stalinists, Communist China, Japan, Russia, and South Korea, to reach an agreement that will lead to complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. In other words, we’re in big trouble. Lest anyone forget, these talks are the fourth attempt to get the Stalinist regime to agree to stop breaking the promise it made in 1994 under the Agreed Framework, which itself included a promise to stop breaking a promise it made in 1985 to never develop nuclear weapons. Each time, the Stalinists were offered concessions in exchange for their supposed willingness to return to the status quo ante. Each time, the United States and her allies—Japan and South Korea—brought themselves back to the table to repair what the Stalinists themselves ruptured. This time, however, the situation is different: the Chinese Communist Party is in the game, keeping a close eye over the actions of its allies. In other words, we’re in really big trouble. These talks are based on one flaw—a flaw large enough to make the entire episode, including the agreement it spawns a dangerous mistake. That flaw is the assumption that Communists can be trusted. One would have hoped Stalinist-in-chief Kim Jong-il would have already proven that with his broken nuclear promises and his downright heartless dishonesty on the issue of Japanese abductions. To this day, Kim has insisted that eight of the thirteen Japanese abducted by his regime have died, without a shred of evidence to back it up (the regime insisted the bodies were swept away by a flood). Naturally, Japan, who has been a member of the six-party talks since they started, has insisted this issue be resolved. However, it appears the old arms control shibboleth—any agreement by definition is a good agreement—is holding sway again. The dovish government of South Korea is telling Japan to, in effect, put a sock in it, while the U.S. appears to be ignoring the abduction issue entirely. Meanwhile, the Stalinists are already building on significant concessions they won before this round of talks even began. In October 2002, when the Stalinists boasted of their uranium-weaponization program, a bold-faced violation of the 1994 agreement, the U.S. insisted the entire program be eliminated before even discussions of aid to the regime would begin. Last year, in the third round of the talks, the U.S. had offered to let the aid spigot be turned on before one single nuclear weapon was destroyed. This time, the Stalinists also want the U.S. to stop sending nuclear submarines anywhere near Korea, and is calling for a full-fledged peace treaty (their previous demand was a non-aggression pact)—plus, of course, an immediate resumption of aid. The dovish South has already offered to plug the Stalinist regime into its electricity grid if it merely agrees to disarm—a move Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has already endorsed. Why are so many democratic officials telegraphing their intentions to simply take Kim Jong-il at his word? We are told this agreement will be different because the Stalinist North would have to break its word to five other parties, not just one. Specifically cited is the Stalinists’ oldest ally—the Chinese Communist regime. This is where things really go off-track. How can anyone take the Chinese Communist Party at its word on the actions of its ally? This is the same regime that insisted Saddam Hussein was not a threat to the free world as it was selling him missile parts and helping him to integrate his air defense network. This is the regime that merrily repeats Khomeinist Iran’s assertion that its nuclear development is “peaceful” as it helps the mullahs develop nuclear weapons. This is also the regime that piously told the world it wanted a “nuclear-free peninsula” in Korea while selling Kim Jong-il tributyl phosphate, a chemical essential for weaponizing uranium and developing plutonium. The only possible reason the Chinese Communist Party and its Stalinist ally would be truthful in this agreement is the fact that so much aid is on the line—Communists tend to be more honest with each other when it comes to stealing other people’s money. Unfortunately, that honesty never includes the victims themselves—in this case, the U.S., South Korea, and Japan. Besides, what consequences will the Stalinists and Communists suffer if the deal is broken? All Kim Jong-il has seen since he broke the 1994 deal is more concessions at the bargaining table. Some will argue that he also lost a continuing supply of fuel oil. However, South Korea just made up for that with its electricity offer. Does anyone really expect Roh Moo-hyun to shut off the power once the Stalinists are caught cheating again? He has already made a slew of bilateral side deals with the regime, and his Uri Party has an enormous stake in his “sunshine” policy. Odds are, he’ll find some reason to keep the power on, and Kim, his Stalinist minions, and his Communist Chinese allies know it. So what we can expect is either a badly overhyped deal with phantom promises by the Stalinists in exchange for real concessions from the U.S. et al, or a promise for more talks in this new “conciliatory” atmosphere, giving Kim Jong-il more time to hide the nuclear weapons he has, win more side-deals from the South, and play “bad cop” to the Chinese Communist Party’s “good cop.” Either way, the Chinese Communist Party will reap immense geopolitical capital – as the midwife of a deal, or the beleaguered host trying to bring the U.S. and Stalinist North Korea to an agreement. The recent heartburn in Washington over Unocal, the Communist military, and Taiwan will be washed away with good feeling or sympathy regarding these talks. In other words, be afraid, be very afraid.
