This is a predictable election tactic:
North Korea will likely boycott multilateral talks on its nuclear disarmament if a conservative candidate wins the December presidential election, former Prime Minister Lee Hae-chan said Sunday.
Lee, now vying for the nomination of the pro-government United New Democratic Party, predicted North Korea will wait and see if a conservative administration would change its inter-Korean policy from the current liberal engagement approach. [Yonhap]
Lee Hae-chan might as well just say, "Vote for me because I will give Comrade Kim Jong-il everything he wants and then some, so we can keep the myth of progress alive."
Kim Jong-il is only going to boycott the nuclear talks if who ever is elected does not give him the free stuff he wants with little to no reciprocity in return.

‘That sort of fear mongering by liberals is the same everywhere.”
Anybody know off-hand the terrorism threat level at the moment? Is it orange? Yellow?
