They then violated and continued to violate the Agreed Framework, ignoring the Carter/Clinton agreement at every turn.  They then pulled a Saddam and threw everyone out - not that they were doing anything anyway.  The only difference being that they then stopped being covert about it.
 
 More importantly, China and the "Sunshine" South Koreans knew about it but let them do it for fear that 50 million starving North Koreans would come swarming over the border.
 |  They didn't make more plutonium for eight years.  Eight years.  If you think that's meaningless, I'd rather you spent your time on the Amish/Mennonite civil war.
