They certainly are not alone in selling arms to earn money. And there is nothing illegal in the sales that they have made. They have however repeatedly said that they would consider all issues, including their missile program, if the US would sit down and engage in direct comprehensive talks.

Marty -- Scuttlebutt as you know is that NK is selling missiles and other nasty stuff to Iran et al. If this is so, do they expect to normalize while continuing to do this, or do they expect to transition out of that trade in return for normalization? mbs The North has repeatedly called for direct talks with the US and has said that all issues, including nuclear and missiles, can be dealt with. All they appear to want is to normalize relations with the US, and then with Japan, so as to stabilize their economy. The US refuses. Apparently, although we do not know for sure what has actually taken place, the government of North Korea is once again upping the ante in the hopes of forcing the US to the bargaining table. We shall see where this will all end. ---------------------------------------- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter for private users. It has removed 25012 spam emails to date.
