<Is there a deal you could come up >

Let's stop talking about accommodation, deals, and whether or not we should do RegimeChange in Iraq. That's a given, at this point, and we should be discussing the Nation-Building (if any) that comes after.

Obviously, verification is an indispensable part of any deal with N. Korea. If you decide from the outset that verification is impossible, that you won't trust any inspection method no matter how intrusive, that's a decision to make negotiations fail. It's a dead end. And those who want war and confrontation, those for whom RegimeChange is the real goal for N. Korea, they can be expected to be unsatisfied with any inspections. "You can't trust them, so talk is futile" is what gets said just before large groups of people start killing each other.
