We'll Kill Them All, End Quote

Despite the framework agreement that was soon to die a quick death under George W. Bush, threats against North Korea by America had not, in fact, stopped. The State Department sent a team to North Korea, which was treated well and came back to the US with a policy of engagement. In June of 2000, came a summit between Kim Jong-il and Kim Dejoon in Pyongyang. And then, in October, came Madeleine Albright's visit to Pyongyang. These goals will benefit all Koreans and all Americans. We must move in steady strides away from the bitterness of the past and persist in the search for common ground.
