SANCTIONS WON'T HELP NORTH KOREA
UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL - THE WASHINGTON TIMES
"Sanctions and other efforts to isolate North Korea are not the most effective way to deal with the nuclear threat it poses, a top U.N. official says.
'Without a dialogue we are not moving forward,' said International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Mohammed ElBaradei.
ElBaradei said that the North Korean nuclear test, which took place on Oct. 9, was a cry for help.
'They feel, rightly or wrongly, that they are isolated,' he said. 'For them the test is to say, 'We could do more harm if you don't talk to us.''
El-Baradei spoke Monday at Georgetown University, Washington, D.C., at an award ceremony honoring his diplomatic accomplishments."
(Must of been one 'elluva' short ceremony, eh? - HH)
"Sanctions should be used to induce a change of behavior, he said."
Well, duhhha!

UPDATE: WSJ's Opinion Journal takes El-Baradei to task and pretty much confirms my position on El-Baradei.
