That's the real hangup for the US side, as I see it. We have two endgame options: the overthrow of the Kim regime in N. Korea, or more economic aid to prop it up (and give the Kim regime more time to play games later on). It's unlikely the N. Koreans are going to suddenly become nice, responsible members of the international system. So the best we have to hope for without "blood deep as the horse's bridle" is a 1994 Agreed Framework-like deal without appearing to have caved to blackmail, with the Koreans agreeing (and actually submitting to) intrusive IAEA inspections. IMHO. Derek
