Last night Passionate Eye had a full documentary on the situation in North Korea. They interviewed Albright, SK Security Advisor, CIA experts, Former Ambassadors, etc. The bottom line was that what NK wants is NOT nukes. What they want is security and normalized relations with US. But when Kim died, US assumed the regime will fall soon and stopped making good on its promises.

You suggestion would have worked 2 years ago. But I don't think you can convince the Koreans anymore to give up nukes. You may be able to convince them not to sell the technology to others and not to make more of them.

If we can buy some time, and seriously sit down with the Chinese and others to see what can be done to encourage internal change during that time, that will be good enough for me.

I suspect that our present negotiations in China are really "unilateral," with China as the middleman. If so, at least it gives us cover. Rumsfeld made an effort to get the negotiator changed from Kelly to Bolton. Got nowhere.
