The word for this is "diplomacy". What does it cost us, to be polite?

Y'mean pulling our nukes out of S. Korea isn't being polite? We gave up something and gained nothing as a result.

Why doesn't North Korea remove all of those 10,000 artillery pieces, all of which are capable of shelling Seoul??

But as the article that Lindy posted describes.. you're in the real world now... Where people don't play fair, and bad people will con, promise, and intimidate more naive countries into giving up the advantages they have...

That's because they rule through sheer force of will, not through any sense of fair play... In the eyes of a tyrant, the "meek shall inherit the sh*t"..
