Which is why before they have the definite ability to nuke the west coast the window is open to bring sanctions to bear by both China, Russia, Japan, South Korea and the U.S. and any Allies since it is in the interest of World Peace and before the only option we have left on the table is to pre-emptively strike them to neutralize North Korea's ability to deliver nuclear warheads. If sanctions can make Kim understand his country has a much better chance of surviving by following the lead and mandate by the U.N. and the civilized world and that cooperating with the rest of the world gives him an OUT to do away with their nuclear program, since cooperation and goodies would be tied to them honestly cooperating with the civilized world. Let us not forget the diplomatic attempt was made by the Clinton administration in which we were deceived by North Korea, and subsequent acknowledgment made of them lying to the international community and refusal of following the rules. So planned observation of their dismantling is the only way to verify they would not be lying again. But, hey, that's why this is such a sticky wicket, because not enough pressure has been levied on North Korea to bring them to honest diplomacy and roll back of their program. North Korea seems to believe and follow their leader down this dangerous path and they seem to believe they hold the better hand. That is what needs to be shown as a false premise. More has to happen from more quarters before we can get to a reasonable negotiation point. In the meantime, the clock is ticking.
