North Korea off of Terror List
Thomas Andre: The fact that the U.S. is taking North Korea off of the list of countries that sponsor terrorism does not do a whole lot to reassure most people that that is actually true. The United States is doing this because the communist nation is agreeing to reopen its nuclear facilities to the IAEA(International Atomic Energy Agency) inspectors. At the same time, all of the sanctions and other such restrictions have not yet been removed. By itself, being removed from that list does little, however, if the North Korean government continues to cooperate with U.N. inspectors, they could eventually see the lifting of the sanctions and actually get help to the starving people of that country. They are the innocent victims of all this political mayhem.
