As the heat is turned way up, North Korean leader Kim Jong II has shown regret about his country’s nuclear test. “If the U.S. makes a concession to some degree, we will also make a concession to some degree, whether it be bilateral talks or six-party talks,” he said.

Kim told a Chinese delegation that “he is sorry about the nuclear test,”
Kim also said that “we have no plans for additional nuclear tests,”

Strange isn't it? Last week the N. Koreans were defiant and stood their ground. Today their leader is apologizing and asking for talks? Did President Bush's efforts to push for sanctions at the UN work?
