Negotiators in the six party talks are hoping to announce soon the completion of an agreement between the parties. They have reached a draft in their negotiations and are sending it to their respective governments for approval.
If and its a very big 'If' the US and/or North Korea were actually to put their past vocal complaints against each other out of mind and sign off on the agreement, I have to wonder whether the agreement would be worth anything. As I recall the Bush Administration was very vocal about denouncing the Clinton Administration for not getting tough on North Korea and relying on ' an agreement,' which North Korea in retrospect promptly began to ignore and break shortly after signing it.
What in the world makes the Bush Administration and American envoy Christopher Hill who is brokering the deal think that this agreement will be any different or carry any more weight? North Korea's promises and their agreements are less stable than a radioactive isotope and they are highly likely to decay very very rapidly.
