WASHINGTON �� North Korea has told the United States it has a secret nuclear weapons program in violation of an agreement signed with the Clinton administration, a senior administration official said Wednesday night. North Korea also told U.S. diplomats it no longer beholden to the anti-nuclear agreement, said the official who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Weapons of mass destruction. Treaty violation. Refusal to allow inspections. Now, why does that all sound so familiar?Under a 1994 agreement with the United States, North Korea promised to give up its nuclear weapons program, and it promised to allow inspections to verify that it did not have the material needed to construct such weapons. But it has yet to allow the inspections, drawing criticism from the Bush administration.
So, can we expect an American invasion of North Korea in the near future? If nothing else, the US would at least show something resembling consistency by invading North Korea.
