Korean talks end with little progress

A South Korean envoy has returned from North Korea without holding talks with the North's reclusive leader Kim Jong-il.

South Korean presidential envoy Lim Dong-won, arriving back in Seoul, said his North Korean hosts told him Mr Kim was on a regional tour.

This dashed hopes that the South Korean delegation could help resolve a nuclear crisis over North Korea's withdrawal this month from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

It appears as if that Sunshine Policy has set in the East...
And I'm down with the way the Bush Administration is handling this: if you have a child that acts like a brat, you either give them a spanking or put them in the "time out chair" to let them think about their misbehavior.
