Default North Korea = No Blacklist

Earlier today, North Korea was taken of of the Terrorist Blacklist by the US due to the fact that North Korea will now comply with nuclear inspections. What are your thoughts on this cadets? Should they still be blacklisted? Is this a step forward in relations?

Here's the link for the story:

I think we need to very careful. As far as them submitting to nuclear inspections, that's all fine and good, but they are still in China's pocket. How do we know that China won't begin supplying N Korea with other means to harm the U.S. or our allies?

I agree, we should tread clear but at the same time, sometimes trust needs to be given for trust to be earned. And for one, we have seen that the North Korean leaders do not take well to pressure of any type against their government from any of our own gov't.

Agreed, I wanted to post this before interjecting my own opinion first. I would compare it to a criminal. Just because a criminal turns himself in, it doesn't merit him to be just. Its a bit of a stretch, but I think you guys will understand what I mean. I think they should still be blacklisted, and watched even closer now that they think they are a little more off the hook ya know?
