Because the Last One Solved So Much …

… South Korea is  begging the North Koreans for another summit.  Except that it really isn’t:

During the interview, Lee said, “Now is the time for the North to give an answer (to the opening of a second summit). I hope the North will prepare fully to hold (the summit) at an early date.”

But Lee said it is not proper for the Seoul government to make a specific request about this matter under the current circumstances, apparently referring to the international standoff caused by North Korea’s recent missile and nuclear weapons tests. 

Later on in the interview, Lee  told a room full of reporters  that now was the time for Miss World Cup 2005 to do her bit for Lee’s well-being, wink-wink, but that it would be inappropriate for Lee to make his request more specific, since the misses might be watching.
