N. Korea reminds me of a whiny kid, locked alone inside a house with access to a shyte load of dynamite.

Here's an official statement from the IAEA


IAEA Inspectors Asked to Leave the Democratic People's Republic of Korea

2009-04-14 | Following is a statement to the media by IAEA Spokesperson Marc Vidricaire on the situation in the DPRK:

"The Democratic People´s Republic of Korea (DPRK) has today informed IAEA inspectors in the Yongbyon facility that it is immediately ceasing all cooperation with the IAEA. It has requested the removal of all containment and surveillance equipment, following which, IAEA inspectors will no longer be provided access to the facility. The inspectors have also been asked to leave the DPRK at the earliest possible time.

The DPRK also informed the IAEA that it has decided to reactivate all facilities and go ahead with the reprocessing of spent fuel."

I saw this coming a week ago, even before the UN released their statement on the North Korean missile test. The fact they did not impose new sanctions or enact a new more harsh resolution and opted to instead issue a weak statement saying it was not a nice thing what North Korea did and they should not do it again, the whole purpose of the weak statement was to make sure the North did not leave disarmament talks, now surprise surprise the North has seen the UN is weak and has announced even with the weak statement they are pulling out of disarmament talks.
The UN should have imposed more severe sanctions and shown the North that we are not afraid and we are willing to come to talks with them but our words are backed up by actions.
