To remind them why they came...

According to the Associated Press, North Korea agreed today to stop building nuclear weapons and allow international inspections in exchange for energy aid, economic cooperation and security assurances, a breakthrough that marked a first step toward disarmament after two years of six-nation talks.

A representative for the U.S. stated that this is a "win-win" situation. I agree. We give them aid they need (which we would have been giving them all along had they disarmed years ago) and they get rid of the nukes and allow regular inspections.

I am a bit skeptical of this though, because in years past there have been "talks of agreements" and nothing has come to fruition. I'm really hoping that the US can push this agreement through because I am certain that it would help ease so much political tension not only between the two of us, but among many other Eastern countries.


In sports Vanderbilt University is now sitting pretty in the SEC east with a nice 3-0 record, two of the wins coming against SEC teams. Alabama's Crimson Tide is off to a nice start as well at 3-0 demolishing Steve Spurier's S.C. Gamecocks on Saturday. It's also good to see Phillip Fulmer's fat face get rubbed in the mud...even if the loss did come against Florida. I just hate UT that bad.
