They've said this in the past, but when things get rolling, they start to backtrack. They already broke part of the agreement to shut down the reactors in April, so how would suddenly the funds make that much of a difference? Why should we trust the North Korean government at all? They have proven time and time again that they break their word when they make deals, then they make a new deal with vague threats, then we come to an agreement and they back off again.
It's a continuing cycle that needs to stop now. Where's China in all this? Yes, they are in talks with the North Korean government with us, but why don't the Chinese provide the financial aid instead of us? They are flowing with cash from their use of slave labor and cheap prices on goods. Why should the US have to foot the entire bill for this?
The US is constantly being looked at as the "Dad" of the world. Whenever something needs to be taken care of, if someone needs money, if someone wants to borrow the car, they look at the US. How about you start looking at China or Russia? They want to be world superpowers like the US, so let them start by doling out the money to various countries while those same countries hate your guts. Let them know what that's like. If they want to wear the "daddy pants", let them.
How about we just cut off aid to all but strategic partners and let the rest of the world deal with their own issues. How about Hollywood celebrities start writing checks to various places that they want the US government to take care of like Darfur? I don't see George Clooney taking out his checkbook and spending all his money on his little project of the moment.
