That would make much more sense if you were dealing with a rational leader, which in this case North Korea cannot be described using the word rational.
You think they will all of a sudden stop the rhetoric of threats against South Korea, abandon all the efforts for WMD, and threatening everyone else protecting South Korea?
You really suspect we can talk our way out of the mess going on in the Korean Peninsula?
At this point conflict is a matter of when, not if and there is little evidence to suggest otherwise.
