The news I'm the most interested in is about removing North Korea from the list of state sponsors of terrorism. Why has the U.S decided to do that?I think there is no reason we remove the country from the list.If the president of the U.S would only like to leave his "footsteps" on history and urge that he has performed his duty as the president,the decision will make the world sitiation worse.
I quoted a part of the article as follow.
Washington has notified Tokyo of its plan to start the process Thursday of striking North Korea from its list of state sponsors of terrorism if Pyongyang files a declaration of its nuclear activities, Foreign Minister Masahiko Komura said Tuesday.
The planned U.S. move may push the Cabinet of Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda into a tight corner, possibly forcing the government to face the tough political choice of either dropping its hardline demand for Pyongyang to make progress on the abduction dispute or straining the U.S. alliance by hampering the six-party talks to denuclearize North Korea.
Fukuda said later Tuesday that Japan would welcome the delisting if it helps resolve the North Korean nuclear issue.
"If the nuclear problem will be resolved, isn't that something desirable, also for our country? . . . It's something we should welcome," Fukuda told reporters when asked whether he would urge President George W. Bush not to remove North Korea from the list.
Officials in Tokyo meanwhile stressed there would still be a moratorium of 45 days, and the U.S. decision could be rescinded during that period if the North's declaration is not sufficient to ensure complete denuclearization as agreed to in the six-party talks.link.....http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/nn20080625a2.html
