One point I left out was that North Korea has a plant that produces Plutonium that was supposed to be destroyed when we sent them the enriched Uranium producing plants. However, they did not destroy that plant (and we could not know this because of the five year ban on inspectors) so now that they have a plant that still produces Plutonium and two plants provided by us that produce enriched Uranium. A perfect situation for builing Plutonium core, enriched Uranium wrapped, nuclear weapons.
The major assumption of the 94 treaty was that if we showed the North Koreans respect they would honor our treaty. Albright met with the North Korean leader and decided he was someone we could deal with. She got snowed. It is that simple.
We gave them a bunch of stuff under that treaty and they did not honor a single letter of it. How can anyone argue with that?
