At the time Carter interceded, Clinton was getting ready to take a much stronger position with NK

I sure with you wish you were right. Do you have anything to back this up?

"The Chinese were convinced that if we declared to the United Nations that North Korea was an outlaw government and their revered, worshipped leader, Kim Il Sung, was a criminal, that they would have to save face by launching an attack.

And so, after hearing that Washington was also contemplating a buildup in military capability, I decided to go. In the past, I had always refrained from going to a troubled area of the world without approval from the White House or State Department. But I hadn't been able to get approval. So I finally wrote President Clinton a letter and told him that I had decided to go to North Korea."

The above is Carter talking........Clinton articulated his position much more strongly. If you do a search, I am sure you will find some of his dialogue from that time.
