Here is the reason we are having a tough time solving the North Korea problem. Seems South Korea just wants to appease. WSJ.com I'm not sure they are wrong in this case. This is a hostage situation where Kim Jong Il is holding a very big gun to the head of an entire country. The difference from Iraq is, we don't know how reckless or aggressive he is -- he has never attacked anyone so far (With Saddam, we do know). Also, he is broke, and must answer to his Chinese patrons, who are probably not best pleased to learn that he has nukes. So "talking him down" might work. Since he already has nukes, we don't have much to lose by trying.
