U.S. may take N. Korea off the terrorism list
US is finally preparing to fulfill its original obligations to DPRK and remove the country from the “state sponsors of terrorism” list. Bush originally promised to do so once Pyongyang suspends it nuclear reactor, however once the North Korean atomic reactor was suspended - US made no signs of complying with its promises, which led DPRK to re-start its reactor. Now Washington seems ready to finally fulfill Korean demands.
It is ironic that the issue of nuclear reactor in question has absolutely nothing to do with terrorism, proving once again that lists like “state sponsors of terrorism” have no underlying ideological value whatsoever, and only indicate which countries US government simply doesn’t like enough to conduct business with. The removal of North Korea from the “state terrorism” list implies removal of US government sanctions, restrictions, bans and prohibitions on investment and trade with North Korea.
