Koreas Pledge to Ease Military Tensions

By AHN YOUNG-JOON, Associated Press Writer

MOUNT SEORAK, South Korea - North and South Korea (news - web sites) agreed Friday to stop propaganda broadcasts along their border and take steps to avoid clashes on the high seas, but they made no moves to reduce troops on a frontier still bristling with arms a half-century after war.

The agreement announced after all-night talks also made no mention of the international dispute over the communist North's development of nuclear weapons.

The two Koreas have yet to sign a peace treaty to formally end their 1950-53 war, and Friday's agreements were part of steps in the past two weeks to ease their tense Cold War-era standoff. Generals from the two sides met face-to-face for the first time last week.

1. If something happens

They don't want to be suckered into being PNAC's sideshow for November while the US sits on the sidelines lobbing in bombs.

Obviously they- at least- are not as nuts as the media would have us believe. Also the scam impeachment didn't work or this rapprochement would never have occurred.
