Unfortunately the North Korean government is beyond reasoning with. Their entire political culture flows from the barrel of a gun. They act like hoodlums and they think like them. That is what their weapons of mass destruction are all about. They intend to hold the world hostage. Once they have a fully functioning nuclear weapon, and a delivery system. They will present the world or their neighbors with ultimatums. Once that happens either you capitulate to their demands, and give them everything they ask for, or you act militarily.
About the only hope I see for this situation not resulting in a nuclear wasteland is for a revolution from within the government itself. However I am hardly hopeful of that outcome. How many in the government have the courage to act and the resources.
