ABC News: NKorea: US Must Alter 'Hostile' Policy

ABC News: NKorea: US Must Alter 'Hostile' Policy: "North Korea said it refuses to give up its nuclear weapons until after the U.S. alters its 'hostile policy' toward the North's government and proves it does not pose an atomic threat to the wartime rival.
The cryptic statement Tuesday from North Korea's Foreign Ministry is the first to lay out North Korea's nuclear stance since the last round of international talks on disarming the North in December.
Analysts say the statement — issued a week before President-elect Barack Obama's inauguration — also sends a strong signal that Pyongyang is keen to forge diplomatic relations with the next U.S. administration.
Stalinist North Korea, one of the world's most isolated countries, has never had diplomatic ties with Washington, which sent troops to back South Korea during the 1950-53 Korean War. Relations warmed under President Bill Clinton but went into a deep freeze when President George W. Bush took office with sharp words for the North."


They make good cars,(I guess) but how about their nuclear weapons?
