The AP reports this morning that North Korea is "sorry" for its recent nuke test, will suspend its threatened three additional tests, and may even come back to the long-stalled six-party talks about it's nuclear program (among other issues).

Don't buy it. Today's news means only one thing: that we -- and particularly Dr. Jack Wheeler, architect of the Reagan Doctrine -- were right about the NorK nuke.
