The Slow Squeeze On North Korea
By DAVID E. SANGER
SIX weeks ago, North Korea admitted it was developing a bomb of highly enriched uranium, a violation of its 1994 pledge to freeze nuclear weapons programs. But while Iraq gets the full military press, North Korea is getting the slow squeeze.
Washington has persuaded South Korea, Japan and the European Union to join it in cutting off the fuel oil that has been sent to the North since the mid-90's. And the Bush administration is demanding the bomb program be dismantled before aid resumes.
On Friday, President Bush issued a statement assuring Pyongyang he has no intention of invading, and reiterating that he seeks a "peaceful solution." The statement, officials said, was intended to dissuade the North from reacting to the cutoff by conducting another missile test over Japan or preparing for bomb-making by "uncanning" plutonium that has been under international inspection.
How Kim Jong Il, North Korea's isolated leader, will react ?with talk or threats and bomb-building ?no one knows.
