But our main enemy is time. If we don't get NK under control, their ability to hurt us in the future goes up exponentially.

Spot on.

The reason why NK wants to open up talks now--buys them time. They have learned from Saddam's 1990 Kuwait mistake. They will not engage in aggression until a few nukes are in hand. Not just one or two but several.

Very scary, very difficult.
