Kenneth, Of course the U.S. "talked" to North Korea. That's how the Bush Administration got a declaration from North Korea that they never stopped trying to develop nuclear weapons - despite an earlier agreement with the Clinton Administration. The North Koreans told American diplomats that they never lived up to their agreements with the Clinton Administration, and were continuing to develop nuclear weapons. What the North Koreans wanted were bilateral talks with a non-aggression pact with the USA. The Administration refused to enter into these talks, but wanted talks that included other stake holders in the region who might also be effected by North Korea's nuclear weapons - like North Korea's northern neighbors China and Russia, as well as Japan and South Korea (bordering countries that have been stung by North Korea's missdeeds in the past). Do you really have a problem with that stance? What they were p.o. about, was being lumped with Iraq and Iran as the Axis of Evil.
