If this is a true picture of Kim Jong II's character, nuclear weapons under his control is a horrible thing to contemplate. No peace treaty was signed when the Korean War ended in 1953, leaving the country partitioned into a communist North and an American-protected South. Both North and South Korea started trying to build nuclear bombs in the early 1970s. But America persuaded South Korea to stop even as North Korean nuclear scientists were learning their trade in Chinese and Russian laboratories. This is accomplished by treaty signers submitting their peacetime nuclear facilities to periodic international inspection.
Plutonium is the material needed for the creation of a nuclear bomb.
International inspectors demanded the right to inspect the reactor. More importantly for the world, the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty comes up for renewal next year. North Korea feels it has as much right to be a nuclear power as the United States or any other of the world's nations. Yet the foremost goal of the New World Order is to first stop the spread of nuclear weapons, and then eliminate them altogether. When North Korea's actions came to light, President Clinton immediately began to threaten economic sanctions.
