Sanctions Still Hurting North Korea ... Obviously

The North Koreans want some sanctions called off as part of their discussions to end their nuclear weapons program. Don't count on that. All sides in the issue are in a giant staring contest right now.

Of course, the sanctions aren't any real leverage in this battle. Kim Jong-il cares far too little about the people of North Korea to really be affected by any trade sanctions.

I wish there was some way to get food and supplies to the people without going through Kim first. That's the only way it could ever work.
