I certainly agree that Bush is foolish in refusing to talk face to face. Perhaps they know more about the culture or politics of NK, but I wouldn't miss a chance for any dialogue. I'd also agree not to invade or whatever they want, assuming they agree not to threaten their neighbors. (OTOH, given the press on NK leader, what happens if he pulls a real nutty and starts killing his own people en masse? hmmmm, don't know what I'd do there.) However, as to your post, it is clear that N Korea has lied to US and the world. Right? Is there some cultural/political issue that would prevent us from "trusting" their word in the future? As it is virtually impossible to monitor 100% of a nation for WMD (ain't that the truth), how could we trust NK if we decide to give in and give them billions in aid. It's a real troubling scenario, irrespective of your belief as to which way you go. It's easy to debate, but what would you do? A) Let them get and market nukes saying we have no right to interfere? B) Agree to billions in aid if they promise to be good? c) Bomb 'em after it's shown that they will not be good or they refuse to give us assurances that they will get rid of the nukes?
