North Korea Blinks
Brinkmanship has given way to diplomacy in North Korea, and not a moment too soon. Instead of opening a nuclear bomb production line while the United States was preoccupied by Iraq, North Korea unexpectedly agreed to meet next week in Beijing with American and Chinese diplomats to talk about ending the North's nuclear weapons programs. The negotiations will not be easy, but the mere fact that they have been arranged suggests it may still be possible to induce North Korea to abandon its reckless pursuit of nuclear bombs.
