WHY can't they JUST KEEP THEIR MOUTHS SHUT? (BBC Re: Korea)
US official lambastes N Korea

A senior United States official has launched a blistering attack on North Korea, saying the country had accelerated its nuclear weapons programme while its people lived a "hellish nightmare".

US arms negotiator John Bolton made some unusually personal criticisms of the North's leader, Kim Jong-il, who he called a "tyrannical dictator" living like royalty.

The comments appeared part of an on-going diplomatic stand-off over the North's nuclear ambitions, with neither side wishing to be seen to be weak ahead of expected talks.
