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.

(and the Leftists are Silent)
Mendacity in Beijing By Lt. Col. Gordon Cucullu In a Freedom House sponsored conference in Washington, DC two weeks ago, Rabbi Abraham Cooper, Deputy Director of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles, strode to the podium carrying an empty chair. He placed the chair down firmly and declared that it was the symbolic seat for the "seventh participant at the Six Party talks, the voiceless people of North Korea." At the first formal meeting of the Six Party talks in more than a year, held on July 26 in Beijing, the participants not only ignored the chair, they tipped it over. In a display of cynical cruelty both American and South Korea diplomats - who supposedly have the moral foundation and fortitude needed to stand up for the downtrodden - not only disregarded the wellbeing of the starving, imprisoned people of North Korea but had the audacity to behave as if the meeting was a huge success. Stunningly, any reference to human rights was intentionally kept off the agenda, but even worse, the South Korean representative, Deputy Foreign Minister Song Min Soon, had the gall to lay down the law to Japan. The Japanese people have been especially upset about North Korean admissions that its agents have kidnapped scores - perhaps hundreds - of innocent civilians from Japan over the past few decades. Many of the abductees are women and children who are used to train North Korean agents. These agents are either dispatched to conduct espionage within Japan or are used in active terrorist operations and fall back on a Japanese "cover" if apprehended. This issue has raised such a firestorm within Japan that Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi refused to eat with Kim Jong Il at their last meeting, and instead brought his own food as a protest against the intransigence of the North Korean regime. So for a South Korean foreign ministry official to warn Japan that "it would definitely not be desirable to take up issues that would disintegrate the focus of the talks," was an arrogant statement that reaffirmed what analysts suspected all along: that strategic weapons issues and economics would once again overrule human rights in the mendacious atmosphere of the Six Party talks. Naturally the US representative, Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill, went along with the flow. All of his comments dealt with delusional "progress." Tellingly, Hill abjectly conceded the initiative to the North when he said "we do not have the option of walking away from this problem [of North Korean nuclear disarmament]." Not that America has ever had the initiative in these talks. For years Kim Jong Il has been yanking the US chain harder than a model in a Bow Flex commercial. US representatives to the Six Party talks make public pronouncements as if they are in control. But whenever Kim Jong Il is pressured and needs to delay, he feigns a fit of pique and boycotts the talks. If his hollow economy squeezes too hard and he needs some material support he grandiosely announces he will attend "in return for security concessions by the imperialists." US officials waffle like a sine wave in reaction to Kim's calculated mood swings. They cling to the delusion that while Kim turns the crank on the organ, and they beg pennies with a cup, that somehow the monkey is in control of the operation. What is extraordinarily reprehensible is the State Department's inability to do what it is supposed to do best: control diplomatic negotiations. Meanwhile, the bureaucracy disregards explicit policy guidance. Late last year both houses of Congress unanimously passed the North Korean Human Rights Act. It was immediately signed into law by President Bush. The law demands that in all dealings with the North Koreans that human rights for the long-suffering people of North Korea be placed on the table for discussion along with any other issues, nuclear, chemical, or missile. This is not mere policy or guidance - either of which would demand obedience from a loyal staff - but is the law of the land, duly filed and recorded. The flagrant, offhanded disregard for this law is stunning but not unusual. Readers know that I am consistently critical of the State Department (closely followed by the CIA and FBI) as being the most dysfunctional of all Executive Branch agencies. Officer selection is anachronistic, training is incestuous, arrogance is consummate, and the union flies top cover for all FSOs deflecting criticism and threats of dismissal. Nevertheless, a great deal of responsibility for the behavior of the middle managers lies with a leadership failure at the top, at the levels appointed by the President. This includes, to my acute disappointment, Secretary Rice and her appointed staff. To be fair it is terribly difficult to be a cabinet secretary and conduct a top-to-bottom house cleaning of such a key department. Nevertheless, someone must eventually say that enough is enough and take on the challenge for reform. Meanwhile, those of us who read reports that North Korean people have had their meager government food ration cut to 200 g daily (520 g is the world standard for survival), while well-fed diplomats preen around conference tables and pose for grip-and-grin photo ops, grind our teeth in frustration. As long as the Six Party talks continue on a flawed policy of separation of strategic arms discussion from human rights issues - which are catastrophic in North Korea - then the outcome of the talks is predestined to failure. Such luminaries as Natan Sharansky, who has through his own experience seen what happens in such a case, call for a gathering of nations to produce a policy similar to the Helsinki Accords that linked human rights to strategic issues and in so doing finally brought about freedom for Eastern Europe and the collapse of the Soviet Union. Such an accord would be incredibly more productive that the current failed Six Party talks and would recognize our moral responsibility to free the people of North Korea. Lt. Col. Gordon Cucullu has been an Army Green Beret lieutenant colonel, as well as a writer, popular speaker, business executive and farmer. His most recent book is Separated at Birth, about North and South Korea. http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles...e.asp?ID=18928 |
