North Korea said on Tuesday that it had stopped disabling its main nuclear complex, and threatened to restore facilities there that the North has used to produce plutonium fuel for nuclear weapons. The threat came a day after U.S. officials acknowledged that their talks with North Korea on how to verify its report on past nuclear activities had failed to make progress.
For months, U.S. experts together with North Korean engineers, had been disabling key facilities at Yongbyon in a move that at least temporarily shut down the North's only known source of plutonium. If the North rebuilds the facilities, it would nullify a key foreign policy achievement for President George W. Bush.

Is it me, or do these rogue nations act like petulant children at times? The dictator starts out with an isolation policy. They see that this plan isn't cutting it and try a new tact. We are going how play nice or we will blow up our play ground. That wouldn't be much fun for anyone.
