...shore up an economy in free-fall. But some U.S. officials now suspect that Kim Jong-il may have concluded that a nuclear deterrent is the key to his survival - a belief reinforced by the fate of Saddam Hussein - and that he's rushing headlong to attain nuclear status regardless of what transpires in negotiations. After all, the nations talking to North Korea to prevent it going nuclear are unlikely to shun Pyongyang once it demonstrates nuclear capability.
