[North Korea] But what's your impression...

I haven't looked at this conflict in detail so I have only a "gut response". The East German model has already been mentioned here - it's the one I like, too: surround the country by a strong, credible force but don't threaten or provoke it. Sooner or later the regime will collapse on its own. There is the danger of nuclear proliferation but this is a threat the world has to live with increasingly. The main countries to talk to North Korea should be its neighbors, i.e. South Korea and China, secondarily those international institutions whose treaties with North Korea have been broken.
