The door has creaked open in talks on ending North Korea's nuclear ambitions, but analysts agreed on Monday that there is a long way to go because Pyongyang still sees atomic weapons as a crucial part of its survival strategy.

Host China, the two Koreas, Japan, Russia and the US ended a third round of talks in Beijing inconclusively on Saturday. Yet analysts -- and in particular South Korean officials, including President Roh Moo-hyun -- said this was the most productive session so far.

"Doors have opened," said Masao Okonogi, a Korea expert at Tokyo's Keio University. "Until now, both the United States and North Korea stuck to their basic principles. But this time, I think they took it a step further."

How ignorant could American citizens be? Of course the only thing to protect yourself against 'Blood and Money' butchering by Bush and Republicans is nuclear weapons. Bush has just proved that to the world.
