In 1994, (during Bill Clinton's administration) Jimmy Carter brokered a "peace deal" with North Korea. The deal was that NK would be given $5 billion worth of oil, two nuclear reactors and lots of high technology In exchange for a "promise" to not build nuclear weapons with the technology and reactor stuff we gave them.
The deal also allowed them to *not* have international nuclear weapons inspectors visit them for 5 years.
On Oct. 17, 2002 the New York Times reported on the front page, "Confronted by new American intelligence, North Korea has admitted that it has been conducting a major clandestine nuclear weapons development program for the past several years."
North Korea lied.
So, here we are again...we're making a deal with NK. Are they lying to us, or can we trust them?
