UN Nuclear Inspectors Quit North Korea

Seoul - UN nuclear inspectors left North Korea Thursday after the hardline communist state ordered them out and announced plans to restart production of weapons-grade plutonium.

The inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) arrived in Beijing but declined to comment to reporters.

A separate four-member US team which had been monitoring the North's disablement of its Yongbyon nuclear complex was also preparing to leave after being ordered out, the State Department said.

The complex produced enough plutonium for a 2006 nuclear test and for several other bombs until it was shut down in 2007 under a six-nation disarmament deal.

So the UN continues to show how weak they really are by obeying orders from NK to leave and the US is following suit. Now, if this was 4 years ago a war most likely would have been started by the Bush Administration. Why the sudden change of events? Is it not true that NK having nuclear weapons is a major threat to SK and Japan? Something seems odd here.
