No Kidding - Part Two

South Korea Proposes Accord to Break Nuclear Deadlock
Now we have South Korea as the peacekeeper -- the way it should be, demonstrating to both South and North Korea's population they (the South) "care" for both. Does this surprise anyone -- I called it blackmail months ago and a "pledge of aid" is what North Korea wanted and needed all along. Let us see out it plays out.
July 27 (Bloomberg) -- South Korea proposed that immediate aid be pledged to North Korea as soon as the nation agrees to verifiable steps to end its nuclear program, seeking to break a deadlock at six-party talks.
South Korea outlined the strategy to end disagreements on the timing of commitments at the second day of negotiations in Beijing, said a South Korean official attending the talks, who briefed the media on condition of anonymity. The U.S., China, Japan and Russia are the other participants.
