...been in a hundred battles, but this is the only place I've had to fight ghosts," says policeman Samrid, a veteran of Thailand's anti-communist campaigns of the 1970s.

All these things clearly can be done even within a communist system. If Pyongyang proves willing to do so, the international community can go well beyond electricity deals and security assurances, offering broader packages of development assistance from the other five participants in the six-party talks, the European Union and the World Bank, as well as lifting U.S. trade sanctions...
