it is unclear what the talks can possibly hope to accomplish when the participants remain in a state of defacto war, or what harm could possibly be done to them by closing the book formally on one of the bloodiest wars of the later half of the 20th century. So what? Peace at ANY COST? NK needs to straighten up its act, not only with regard to the US, but S. Korea and the rest of the world. They were the aggressors, and that was a UN-authorized confrontation. Thus, so long as N. Korea continues to violate the cease-fire, thumb it's nose at the UN by attempting to destabilize the region, as well as oppress its people, there's really no reason to have a peace treaty. Peace at any cost only leads to a greater confrontation down the road. Hawk
