Sept. 19 (Bloomberg) -- North Korea agreed to give up its nuclear arsenal and rejoin a global treaty to halt the spread of such weapons, ending a three-year dispute with the U.S. in return for security guarantees.
North Korea vowed to dismantle its arms and admit United Nations inspectors to verify closure of nuclear facilities, according to a statement signed in Beijing with the U.S., China, South Korea, Japan and Russia. The U.S. promised not to attack North Korea and affirmed it had no nuclear weapons in the South.
But will President Bush get credit for it? For persuing a multi-national strategy that included all of North Korea's neighbors? No, of course not.
