More Concessions?

[South Korean] President Urges U.S. to Make Concessions in N. Korea Nuke Talks
S. Korean Civic Groups Urge U.S. to Accept N.K. Nuke Freeze

Both the South Korean President and a coalition of 60 South Korean NGO's have called on the US to make more concessions to North Korea in the talks over the nuclear crisis, which began today in Beijing. According to South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun, "We need to give something (to North Korea) to make further progress and help each other save face."

Concessions to Kim Jong-il have been made for the past ten years. The result? Kim Jong-il has indeed "saved face" and also biult an arsenal of nuclear and biological weapons. From CIA, Drudge Report: North Has 2-4 Nukes:
    "The Internet news site Drudge Report reported Sunday that CIA reports reveal that North Korea possesses between two to four nuclear weapons of limited yield and one factory producing biological agents for use in weapons."
