>>>Ever try to negotiate with someone who is swinging a machete at you? You can't negotiate with someone who is intent on killing you. North Korea is ruled by a madman and I'm sure he'll have to be dealt with in the distant future. The current madman of record is OBL or UBL depending on which tla you want. When will you guys learn this lesson. It's a recurring theme throughout history. The strong survive, the weak get eaten.

If you read my posts with an open mind then you will see the positive message. But, with all due respect, you do not want to see that there may be any alternative path than the one you have already chosen as "correct".

You give your "enemy" no validity at all. You are 100% right. They are 100% wrong. For you its black and white, right and wrong, good vs. the evil-doers. And such a position is perfectly within your rights, of course. However, for each position a person (and country) takes there are also consequences. And those I fear will be forthcoming, for all of us, for a long time to come.
