Reposting this since you OBVIOUSLY cannot comprehend the FIRST TIME.
Background: On Oct. 16, 2002 North Korean government officials admitted their country had secretly continued development of nuclear weapons in violation of a 1994 non-proliferation agreement with the United States.
It was, however, well-intentioned "diplomatic efforts" by the Clinton administration that failed in the first place. That piece of 1994 diplomacy was known as the "Agreed Framework."
Diplomacy and Deception: 'A sea of fire'
From 1985 to 1992, N. Korea "bought time" for its nuclear weapons program by entering into a series of international diplomatic agreements under which it promised to "deweaponize" its reactors and halt further production of plutonium.
By 1994, however, N. Korea had violated the terms of most of the non-proliferation agreements and simply withdrawn from the rest. By refusing in 1993 to disclose to international arms control agencies how much plutonium it had produced, N. Korea virtually admitted that its nuclear weapons program had continued unchecked.
When in June of 1994 the Unites States, S. Korea and several allied nations succeeded in getting the U.N. Security Council to evoke sanctions against them, the N. Koreans declared the sanctions an "act of war" and threatened to turn South Korea into "a sea of fire."
Clinton Negotiates the 'Agreed Framework'
Believing a diplomatic solution still possible, former President Clinton forged an agreement with N. Korean President Kim Il-sung that the North would temporarily halt its nuclear weapons program and return to non-proliferation negotiations in Geneva. The now-violated agreement, signed on Oct. 21, 1994 became known as the "Agreed Framework."
Key components of the 1994 Agreed Framework included:
* The U.S. and N. Korea would cooperate in fully replacing N. Korea's graphite-moderated reactors with light-water reactors (not capable of plutonium production) by 2003. Graphite-moderated reactors were to be shut down until converted.
* To offset energy lost due to the powering down of N. Korea's graphite-moderated reactors, the United States agreed to supply N. Korea with up to 500,000 tons of heavy oil for heating and electricity production annually, until all reactors had been converted.
* N. Korea agreed to return to compliance with all international nuclear non-proliferation agreements and to eventually stabilize, store and dispose of all spent nuclear fuel already produced.
* Both the U.S. and N. Korea would work to achieve full normalization of political and economic relations.
Moron. Parent asked, "Do you want to keep sending these guys money and stuff?", and you replied to the effect that they aren't getting free stuff, then posted links that state,
"In 1999 President Clinton announced that the United States would ease economic sanctions against North Korea affecting trade and travel."
What that report does NOT state is that we agreed to send them, FREE OF CHARGE, 500,000 tons of OIL. (There's your free stuff, idiot.)

A Broken Framework
As we now know, North Korea failed to uphold its end of the Agreed Framework. Appearing October 20 on NBC's "Meet the Press," Secretary of State Colin Powell stated, "When we told North Korea that we knew what they were doing, they came back the next day, admitted it, blamed us for their actions and then said they considered that agreement nullified."
WOW! Looks like Klinton really was effective, huh? LOL!
Oh...here's some more free stuff we sent them that you refuse to acknowledge:
In addition to the oil supplied under the 1994 Agreed Framework, the United States, as early as 1997, began sending North Korea food medicine and other forms of humanitarian aid.
The contributions of U.S. humanitarian aid to N. Korea began in 1997, in response to an appeal from the United Nations World Food Program. Unprecedented flooding during 1995 and 1996 had wiped out much of N. Korea's farm land, resulting in chronic food production shortfalls and widespread mal

Sounds like a perfect way to win the X-Prize!
I have to disagree.
I believe the composition of the soil here in Memphis is such that liquifaction would occur to a much greater severity than expected or planned for.
Although Jackson, Tn was hard-hit by at "least" 2 tornadoes last year, that is but one relatively small area compared to the new madrid area as a whole.
There was a strong F2 in Dyersburg and another smaller one in Covington last year, but nothing that has wiped out so many homes that they've all been rebuilt. A drive up Highway 51 from Memphis to Covington would be an easy way to illustrate that fact.
The tornado in Memphis occured last year during the BBQ World Championships, and came right through Tom Lee park, where I was scarfing down BBQ, but was really only a funnel cloud that didn't touch down. There "were", however, a LOT of strong straight-line winds that caused some major damage...Again though, nothing that could come close to the damage of an 8.0+ quake.
I,myself am less worried about the new Madrid than the Yellowstone Caldera...It's probably the only "disaster scenario" in the continental US that would exceed an 8.0+ New Madrid quake
Regardless of whether it was 45 minutes or 2 days, the damage can only be described as catastrophic. From http://www.umsystem.edu/upress/spring1996/bagnall. htm
"Vibrations were felt from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic coast and from Mexico to Canada. The quake zone was in constant movement during this period. Five towns in three states disappeared, islands vanished in the Mississippi River, lakes formed where there had been none before, and the river flowed backward for a brief period."
BTW, the "big" new madrid quakes occured in 1811-1812, not 1820.:)
