Third, resulting from the above, it is ridiculous to fault past administrations for not taking a more aggressive posture toward N. Korea. The carrot was used instead of the stick because the carrot was available and the stick was not.

While agreeing that there were/are no easy options, there are also more than one possible carrot. The carrot that was used involved only US & S Korean bribes, with no cooperation from China. If China can be persuaded to cooperate, different carrots, and some sticks, can be used.
