North Korean Energy Aid

Nations are attempting to speed up energy aid to North Korea in an effort to get them to disable their nuclear plants as quickly as possible. Recently, diplomats from the United States, North and South Korea, China, Russia, and Japan met to discuss the energy aid and the dismemberment of North Korea’s nuclear facilities.
What exactly is this energy aid in question? North Korea is scheduled to receive 1 million tons of fuel oil to be used for energy. In return they will forfeit any continuance with their nuclear plants. This deal has been in the making since 2003. For years, the global community has feared nuclear action by North Korea. However with this new diplomatic plan for energy aid, it would appear that there is nothing to worry about for the time being. Yet one cannot help but wonder whether or not North Korea will attempt to pursue nuclear aspirations under the radar of the global community. There will undoubtedly be regular checks into the facilities of North Korea but I can’t help but worry that their motives might not remain pure for a terribly long time. What do you make of the current situation? Do you believe this plan for energy aid has significant staying power? Once the energy has been consumed, what is to stop North Korea from launching its nuclear program in hopes of producing weapons of mass destruction?
