Iran Nuclear Issues

In this Aug. 4, 2009 file photo released by Korean Central News Agency via Korea News Service in Tokyo, former U.S. President Bill Clinton, seated left, meets with North Korean leader Kim Jong Il, seated right, in Pyonggyang, North Korea.

But the latest mirror moment for the two nations, nabbing Americans accused of straying across the border, shows that the symmetry goes only so far.
