WHEN TWO SIDES SIT DOWN TO TALK ONE HAS ALREADY WON:

U.S.: NKorea to Declare Nuclear Programs (the Examiner, 9/02/07)

North Korea has agreed to declare and disable all its nuclear facilities by the end of the year, the chief U.S. negotiator said Sunday.

U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill two days of talks between the United States and North Korea in Geneva had been "very good and very substantive" and would help improve chances of a successful meeting later this month when both sides meet with Japan, Russia, South Korea and China in six-nation talks aimed at ending North Korea's nuclear weapons program and improving relations between North Korea and other countries.

Just another win for W's intransigent unilateralism.
