Kerry's Korea peace plan. Is there an echo here?

World Tribune.com--Front Page:
"The North Koreans believe they will have an easier time negotiating with a new administration headed by Sen. John F. Kerry, who has said publicly he would begin direct U.S.-North Korea talks if elected president."

Remember, Kerry has specifically said he agrees with Kim Jong-Il to bilateral talks involving all matters related to the Korean War armistice, not just nuclear non-proliferation issues. This is an entirely mischievous policy and the administration should have jumped all over Kerry for hypocrisy. The armistice was negoiated by the US on behalf of the UN and now Kerry, who claims to be a fan of the UN, wants the US to act unilaterally to alter the terms of the armistice.

ADDENDUM (about six hours later): It occurs to me that this sounds a lot like Kerry in 1970-71. He met with Madame Binh in Paris during his honeymoon (Marry an heiress and honeymoon in Paris with the communists, I couldn't sell that plot as a B-movie.) and came back to the states plugging her Vietcong communist peace plan. Did someone have to tell him to adopt the communist position with North Korea, or does it just come naturally after all these years?
