North Korea doesn't really want a nuclear arsenal to use, they want the political leverage and all the finanical benefits that come with it. Call it a bribe if you want, but that's what it boils down to. Through diplomacy, we'll eventually reach another agreement. (we had a positive arrangement, until Bush screwed that up) Getting up on our moral highhorse and turning this into an egodriven competition of will is ultimately not in anyones best interests. This policy of ignoring disenfranchised people until they finally blow something up to get our attention is a bad course to follow. Part of being the President means dealing with people you don't like. George doesn't understand that. (just look at all the ridiculous policies he's enacted against Cuba)
